On the evening of that first day of the week,
when the doors were locked,
where the disciples were,
for fear of the Jews,
Jesus came and stood in their midst
and said to them,
“Peace be with you.”
When he had said this,
he showed them his hands and his side.
The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
[Jesus] said to them again,
“Peace be with you.
As the Father has sent me,
so I send you.”
And when he had said this,
he breathed on them
and said to them,
“Receive the holy Spirit.
Whose sins you forgive
are forgiven them,
and whose sins you retain
are retained.”
Point for Reflection
What does receiving the Holy Spirit mean for you?
