23 April 2025 - Wednesday of the Octave of Easter
Homily
The Evangelist Luke tells us of three apparitions of Jesus on Easter Day: 1) that to the women, who were the first to have the courage to come to the tomb early in the morning; 2) that to the two disciples who had decided to return to their village and their occupations; 3) that to the Twelve who were still paralysed by fear in the place where they had locked themselves away. It is the second of these apparitions that we have in our text today.
