3rd Sunday Easter 26 April 2009

Click here to download and listen to this homily (13 minutes) given by Fr. Thomas Weise at the 8:30 am Mass.  After the resurrection Jesus commissions us to go out into the world as witnesses to the Love and mercy of God.  Peter does this when he forgives those who condemned Jesus to death when he invites them to be baptized.  The message of God's love and mercy needs to get out into the world and we are the ones who will carry that message.  When ever we witness about Jesus he shows up in our midst.

Readings: Acts of the Apostles 3:13-15, 17-19; Psalm 4; 1 John 2:1-15a; Luke 24:35-48
