The lesson: DT TRJ Do This To Remember Jesus. After the Resurrection, Jesus did not walk around from place to place. He “appeared” in the middle of the room in the middle of the story. This taught the Apostles that Jesus can be present to us in a new way, without physically being with us. When we celebrate the Eucharist, our lives are changed as we remember what Jesus did at the Last Supper. He taught us how to keep Him alive in our hearts through the Eucharist. If we remember Jesus in our everyday actions, such as at meals, or when tying shoes, we re-focus that part of our day on Him. Imagine a world, or just a household that remembered Jesus weekly at Mass, and then carried out simple daily tasks with prayer throughout the week and then remembering Jesus in every encounter with friends, family, classmates, and even strangers. Jesus asked us to do this to remember him.
Thank you, St. Aidan, for the gift of these fantastic Bibles.
