CENACLE buildings

3. The Cenacle is the place of the first Synagogue that became CHURCH
The two apparitions of today’s Gospel took place here

4. CENACLE lower and upper floors
Jn 20:19-31 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews,
CENACLE lower and upper floors

5. Everyone has seen the Master exposed to ridicule before his death, now are afraid that the Jews attack them
With fear, any work, however good, is useless, it's just an anecdote that time clears

6. Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you
Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you." When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

7. But He who had been seen dead, suddenly appears to them ALIVE

Love conquers all fears, all resistance, all cowardliness, then and now

8. Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you
Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

9. S. Pablo cae del caballo
Risen Jesus sends the Holy Spirit which is the one that has guided his Life and his Death
He making us fall of all fundamentalisms, makes simple people, to the Service of others

10. If you forgive the sins of anyone, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld."

11. Easter is Spirit of FORGIVENESS of all offenses, all betrayals
Judas kiss
Easter is Spirit of FORGIVENESS of all offenses, all betrayals
Easter is unconditional forgiveness, fruit of a LOVE that is stronger than any death

12. Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe."

13. FAITH also passes through the experience of the other
Apostoles talking among themselves
FAITH also passes through the experience of the other
Whoever does not believe in the other, neither can believe in God

14. Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you." Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe."

15. Faith does not need to touch the wounds, perceives them in the heart and carries with them
Without touching the wounds of the brothers we must feel them in our bodies and not rest until remedy it

16. Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"

17. Become his FRIEND, love him and worship him
The wounded, the despised, the poor, the suffering, by sunk that is, is your Lord and your God
Become his FRIEND, love him and worship him
John the Baptist, the friend of the Bridegroom

18. Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me
Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed

19. Your LIGHT is your Faith
Blessed those who BELIEVE, despite the darkness, I assure you see angels in your WAY
Your LIGHT is your Faith
The Angel blends a stop of the Family of Nazareth, way of Egypt

20. Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

21. Let’s keep all the miracles in the Cenacle of our heart
RESURRECTION is the "miracle" of Life shared
Let’s keep all the miracles in the Cenacle of our heart
Appearance of Jesus to the disciples of Emmaus, on the WAY of Life

22. Risen Lord, grant that through real life we discover the wide EASTER horizons
