We are now in the 40 days from the Resurrection at Easter until the Ascension. In this time Jesus appeared many times to individuals and groups, as our Eucharistic Prayer for this season puts it so beautifully:
Making himself known in the breaking of the bread,
speaking peace to the fearful disciples,
welcoming weary fishers on the shore,
he renewed the promise of his presence,
and of new birth in the Spirit
who sets the seal of freedom on your sons and daughters.
Using some of the passages describing these events, together with short reflections and prayers and some rather wonderful paintings by the French Artist Tissot, Stations of the Resurrection provides the opportunity to see how Jesus came to the Disciples as they tried to make sense of all that had happened and tried to return to their old lives. Their dreams had been shattered and they found themselves feeling ineffective and discouraged. If that is how you have been feeling over the past year or so then maybe it will give you renewed hope in the future.
