In Luke’s mind, the Spirit that had once dwelt in the Temple had now taken up residence among Christ’s disciples.

One might have expected a statement of disappointment or regret. Instead, Jesus speaks to his disciples of love.

As the first disciples trusted in the Advocate, they found a love that gave peace to their hearts.

The Twelve were servants of Jesus’ mission. Now, after the resurrection, they have become Jesus’ friends.

This Sunday’s Gospel calls us to create that quiet place in the midst of the world’s distractions,

We are like the angel messengers at the tomb: to interpret the signs of Christ’s presence and activity.
