“Peace be with you… Look at my hands and my feet; it is I myself.” (Lk. 24:35-48)

The Risen One appears in the midst of friends who are locked up and scared to death. And his first gift is: “Peace”…a peace so profound that it does not erase the wounds but transforms them. Jesus shows them his scars to teach them that healing is not forgetting the past but looking at it with love and reconciliation. Today, what scars from your history do you find it difficult to accept? Feel that He is there, in the midst of your storms, putting your broken pieces together. Let us ask ourselves: how can I be a bridge of reconciliation today in my family, in my community, in my work? Let us give the gift of forgiveness and lighten the lives of those around us.
