Oratio: “I remember when Jesus appeared to his disciples that first Easter night, they thought He was a ghost, but by His words and actions He showed that He was there in the flesh- He ate fish in their presence. Grant that I may be always grateful to these disciples who proclaimed the good news of His resurrection and this wonderful mystery of faith.
I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.
