On this Third Sunday of Easter, Tony Crescio brings the episode of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus into conversation with the episode of Adam and Eve’s expulsion from the Garden of Eden. As Tony explains, when we attend to the parallels of these episodes the modus operandi of the Son of God as the One Who relentlessly pursues the human family out of love appears.

The Second Sunday of Easter is known as Divine Mercy Sunday. On this Sunday we hear the well-known story of “doubting Thomas.” However, in his reflection for this Sunday, Tony Crescio suggests that closer attention to the scriptural account results in a very different reading of Thomas. Far from a simple doubter, Thomas is in fact exemplary in his faith, struggling with doubt but with a firm desire to enter into deep and lasting relationship with Christ.

In our time and place the bodily Resurrection in Christ is called into question by many. And even among those who believe that Christ did indeed rise bodily from the dead, most don’t seem to think the Resurrection has anything to do with them. In his reflection for Easter Sunday, Tony Crescio affirms the bodily Resurrection of Christ as the central tenet of the Christian faith, and explains why it has everything to do with our lives beginning right here and right now.
