TRANSCRIPT
On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" After he said
this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the
Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not
forgiven."John 20 19-23
As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be
truly sanctified."My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,
that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world
may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one
— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent
me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
John 17 16-23
“an invitation to a whole new form and way of living, a
transformation as radical as a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.
It is far more than a call to a new inner life, or a rescue
operation for heaven. It is an announcement of a new order of
life that is intended to change everything about the world and
us with it.”
