Fr Michael Payyapilly reflects on the frightened disciples who fail at first to recognise the goodness of Christ standing among them. He invites us not to let pain, anxiety or difficult circumstances blind us to God's goodness, and to hear again through the Eucharist the words of Jesus: Peace be with you.

Fr Michael Payyapilly reflects on Mary Magdalene recognising the risen Jesus when He simply calls her by name. He invites us to learn the Shepherd's voice and listen for God's personal call in sorrow, uncertainty and the noise of everyday life.

Fr Varghese Parackal VC teaches that after repentance and forgiveness, we must not allow guilt to keep us tied to the past. Through the lost sheep, St Paul and vivid pastoral illustrations, he calls us to believe that Christ has redeemed us, leave what lies behind, and live the rest of our lives for the One who saved us.

Fr Joby George VC reflects on the Holy Spirit as the Spirit who unites and on unforgiveness as a root that divides families, relationships and communities. Drawing on Scripture and his own struggles with anger and forgiveness, he explains why human forgiveness becomes exhausted and why we need to receive the forgiveness of Jesus from the Cross until it overflows from us to others.
