9 avril 2026 – jeudi de l’Octave de Pâques

Actes 3, 11-26 ; Luc 24, 35-48

Homélie

          La chose la plus surprenante dans cet Évangile, c'est la crainte dont sont saisis les onze Apôtres et leurs compagnons. Peu de temps auparavant, les disciples qui avaient rencontré Jésus sur le chemin d'Emmaüs et l'avaient reconnu dans la fraction du pain étaient revenus raconter ces choses aux Apôtres. Ceux-ci avaient répondu: "C'est bien vrai! Le Seigneur est ressuscité, et il est apparu à Simon". Avant cela il y avait eu le témoignage des femmes venues au tombeau le matin de Pâques. Donc, tout le monde savait déjà que Jésus était bel et bien ressuscité. Soudain, alors même qu'ils sont en train de parler ensemble de Jésus, celui-ci apparaît au milieu d'eux et leur dit tout simplement : "La paix soit avec vous." Et cela suffit pour qu'ils soient effrayés et remplis de crainte. Quelle est donc la source de cette crainte?

Ac 4, 32-37; Jn 3, 7b-15 

H O M É L I E 

Depuis hier, à l’Évangile, le lectionnaire nous fait lire le récit de la rencontre de Jésus avec Nicodème, dont nous entendrons la suite au cours des prochains jours. C’est dire l’importance de ce récit en ce temps pascal.

9 April 2026 – Thursday of Easter Week

Acts 3:11–26; Luke 24:35–48 

Homily 

          The most surprising thing in this Gospel is the fear that grips the eleven Apostles and their companions. Shortly before, the disciples who had met Jesus on the road to Emmaus and recognized Him in the breaking of bread had returned to tell the Apostles about these things. They replied: “It is true! The Lord has risen, and He has appeared to Simon.” Before that, there had been the testimony of the women who had come to the tomb on Easter morning. So everyone already knew that Jesus had indeed risen. Suddenly, just as they were talking together about Jesus, He appeared in their midst and simply said to them: “Peace be with you.” And that was enough to make them frightened and filled with awe. What, then, is the source of this fear?

April 14, 2026 - Tuesday of the 2nd week of Easter

Acts 4, 32-37; John 3, 7b-15

Homily

         In today's Gospel, we read the second part of the story of Jesus' meeting with Nicodemus. We will hear the rest over the next few days. Which just goes to show how important this story is in this Easter season.

8 April 2026 – Wednesday of Easter Week

Acts 3:1–10; Luke 24:13–35 

H O M I L Y

         The Evangelist Luke recounts three appearances of Jesus on Easter Day: 1) the one to the women, who were the first to have the courage to come to the tomb early in the morning; 2) the one to the two disciples who had decided to return to their village and their daily tasks; 3) the one to the Twelve, who were still paralyzed by fear in the place where they had shut themselves away. It is the second of these appearances that we have in today’s text.
