Clergy Thoughts: The 3rd Sunday of Easter Year A reminds us that Jesus is alive and walks with us. The readings show how His followers came to believe in the resurrection. They also call us to live with hope and trust in His promise, and to recognize Him in Scripture, in the Eucharist, and in our daily lives. The lesson here, is to encourages us to listen to God’s Word always and to live our faith as true Catholics. Like the disciples who shared their encounter with Jesus, as Christians we are also to share our believe as witnesses of His resurrection and spread His love and hope to those around us. Amen!  Fr Alex
