"Everything written about me in the law of Moses and in the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled."

Luke 24:35-48

St. Augustine observed that "The New Testament lies hidden in the Old, and the Old Testament is unveiled in the New." Jesus is telling his disciples that His life, death and resurrection was prophesied in the Old Testament and revealed to them in all that he said and did. For us, Jesus in the Old Testament is revealed in what is written in the New. The readings from Scripture in our Sunday and daily Eucharist, and the celebration of our Sacraments, include passages from the Old and New Testaments. Jesus connects the two. When the disciples realized that Jesus had actually risen from the dead, that He was all the Messiah was prophesied to be, and that He expected them to do all that he had done to proclaim the Kingdom of God, they were reluctant, but they courageously went. When we realize that the Risen Jesus is depending on us to do the same, we may be reluctant. But with faith in Jesus we must go into God's world to proclaim His Kingdom with the same courage and commitment as the Apostles. Let's go!

Let us continue to pray for each other. May the Good Lord bless you and keep you close to Himself.

Your Servant in Christ,
Fr. Mick Greer
