ANNOUNCEMENTS
SCRIPTURE INSIGHTS WEEKDAY READINGS
Today the Church continues to celebrate and unfold the significance of the Risen Lord. Jesus’ words to the disciples at the Last Supper take on more meaning now at Easter Time, and the First and Second Readings show us the life of the Church after the Resurrection. Previous texts from Acts describes harmony in the community, but in today’s account we see tension among the faithful. The community’s solution, to appoint seen men to care for those being neglected, shows that the early Church was already prioritizing service. The new ministry of the seven, although composed of specially chosen individuals, is seen as a model for all believers. The first verse of today’s psalm suggests that it was a hymn of praise sung during the liturgy to the accompaniment of instruments. The following two verses and the refrain make it clear why the Lord is worthy of this praise. In the Second Reading, the image of the community as “living stones” forming themselves into a “spiritual house” fits perfectly with the two verses about cornerstones quoted from Isaiah 28 and Psalm 118. For early Christian authors, Christ was the cornerstone around which the faithful built themselves. For those without faith, however, the Christ/cornerstone would become a stumbling stone. Today’s Gospel ties together the themes from the other readings. If there was a sense of division in the community in the First Reading, it is replaced by the unity that will mark the gathering of Jesus and his disciples in the Kingdom of Heaven. The spiritual building that disciples make of themselves on earth will become a heavenly dwelling place where there will be room for all. This, Jesus promises, will happen when he returns to the Father. The assurance that he gives the disciples at his impending departure also brings comfort and hope to us all. How do you interpret Jesus’ statement, “I am the way and the
truth and the life”? In your view, what does it mean to “dwell” in the Lord? In the Second Reading, what might “spiritual sacrifices”
