Third Sunday of Easter (B) - For the Ride Home - Catholic Sunday Mass Reading

•The author of life you put to death… (Acts 3:15)
•…you who relieve me when I am in distress; have pity on me, and hear my prayer! (Psalm 4:2)
•…the love of God is truly perfected in him. (1 John 2:5a)
•Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day (Luke 24:46)

•How do you die with Jesus?
•How do you live with Jesus?
•How do you exhibit the perfect love descended on you by Jesus’ actions?

“What then will you give us, Lord? What are you going to give us?” “Peace I give you. My peace I leave for you,” says the Lord. That is enough for me: gratefully I accept what you leave, and I let go of what you retain. If it pleases you, I do not doubt that it is for my own good….I want peace, I desire peace, and nothing more. If there is anyone unsatisfied with peace they will be unsatisfied with you. (Bernard of Clairvaux)¹
