Jesus will save the Church<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Terrified\u00a0by Jesus\u2019 execution, the disciples take refuge in a familiar house. They are together once again, but Jesus is not with them. There is emptiness in the community which no one can fill. They miss Jesus<\/strong>. Whom will they follow now? What can they do without him? It is getting to be \u201cevening\u201d in Jerusalem as well as in the hearts of the disciples.<\/p>\n

In the house where they are, \u201cthe doors are locked.\u201d It is a community without either mission or horizon<\/strong>, locked up in itself, unable to be welcoming. No one thinks now of going forth along the roads to announce the kingdom of God and heal life.\u00a0Someone behind closed doors cannot possibly get close to the suffering of the people.<\/p>\n

The disciples are full of \u201cfear of the Jews.\u201d It is a community paralyzed by fear, a defensive attitude. They only see hostility and rejection everywhere. It is not possible for anyone who is afraid to love the world as Jesus did, or to instill liveliness and hope in any anyone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, the risen Jesus takes the initiative. He comes to rescue his followers. \u201cHe comes in and stands in their midst.\u201d The small community begins to be transformed. They pass from fear to the peace Jesus inspires in them<\/strong>. They pass from the darkness of the night to the joy of seeing him again fully alive. Soon they will pass from locked doors to the opening of the mission.<\/p>\n

Jesus speaks to them, putting all his trust in those poor human beings: \u201cAs the Father has sent me, so I send you.\u201d He does not tell them to whom they should get near, what they have to announce or how they must conduct themselves.<\/p>\n

Jesus knows his disciples\u2019 frailty. He has criticized many times their little and faltering faith. They need the strength of the Spirit so that they may fulfill their mission<\/strong>. That is why he performs a special gesture for them. He neither lays his hands on them nor blesses them as he did\u00a0to sick people. He breathes on them and says to them, \u201cReceive the Holy Spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Only Jesus will save the Church. He alone can free us from the fears that paralyze us, can break the boring structures we try to shut ourselves in<\/strong> throughout the centuries, to set straight so many paths that have made us stray from him.<\/p>\n

What is asked of us is to rekindle in the whole Church trust in the risen Jesus, to mobilize so we may fearlessly put him in the center of our parishes and communities<\/strong>, and focus our strengths on listening to what Spirit is saying to his men and women followers today.<\/p>\n
