Easter Thursday – Peace Be With You — Congregation of Sisters of St Joseph in Canada

PEACE BE WITH YOU

Today’s Gospel opens with:

“The two disciples told the eleven and their companions what had happened on the road to Emmaus. While they were talking about this Jesus stood among them. ‘peace be with you’. ‘Why are you frightened? Touch me and see.’” Luke 24: 35-48

Emotions of doubt, fright, disbelief, wonder and joy, all vibrating at the same time. The story is recalled every year and is held in a vessel of faith. We sing it so that it engages us in the depth of our being personally and communally.
