I've done it, many of my friends have done it (and are doing it); it really brings to life the interconnectedness of sacred Scripture, how each lesson builds upon itself. <br /><br />What you say about going back and doing what we'd done before...Luke 11:24-26 comes to mind. I read a piece about 2 years ago titled "The Second Bridge" by James H. Dobbins, which talked about a second conversion experience, how Peter's denial of Christ was an example of this.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03846547501253855220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654865462543775620.post-23702447111790229842010-04-25T10:49:42.037-04:002010-04-25T10:49:42.037-04:00I think this Gospel passage is indicative of how w...I think this Gospel passage is indicative of how we must remain close to Jesus because we are called to ongoing metanoia in our lives.

He appeared to thousands of people after His resurrection--exactly the way He did during his life before He was crucified. That was an important time for the Church, and I am so thankful that we spend the season of Easter examining these parts of Scripture until Pentecost. <br /><br />I also must thank our globe-trotting friend Fr.
