John Kavanaugh, SJ
This is a Jesus of sight and sound, of memories and relationships, of love and tenderness. He would take food and allow himself to be touched. Even his wounds could be examined.
John J. Pilch

This is what the disciples had not yet seen: they had no vision yet of the Church spreading from Jerusalem over the whole world.
Dennis
Hamm, SJ

that we can be restored to the right relationship with God.
