" 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 this, He showed them His hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. Jesus said, ' As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.' And He breathed on them and said, ' Receive the Holy Spirit.' [John 20: 19- 22].

I recently went to see a new documentary film, Girl Rising, directed by Academy Award nominee Richard Robbins.
This film tells the stories of nine girls, in nine different countries, who beat incredible odds, in order to not only survive, but to thrive.

" The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in darkness, like those long dead. Answer me quickly, O Lord; my spirit fails. Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord, for I hide myself in You." [ Psalm 143].
As if the cases of Jaycee Dugard and Elizabeth Smart are not enough. .. now comes the news of three young women kidnapped and held captive in Cleveland, Ohio for ten years. The kidnapper was a neighbor everyone recognized and knew.

" Jesus said to His disciples, "My children, I will be with you only a little while longer. I give you a new commandment: love one another. Asa I have loved you, so also should you love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples." [ John 13: 31-35].
God is Love [1 John 4: 16].
The greatest commandment in Christianity is to Love.

"It was the best of times. It was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way." -- Charles Dickens, "A Tale of Two Cities".

" Simon Peter and [some of the disciples] went out and got in their boat [to go fishing], but that night they caught nothing. When it was already dawn, Jesus was standing on the shore; but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, 'Children, have you caught anything to eat? ' They answered Him, 'No.' So, He said to them, 'Cast the net over the right side of the boat and you will find something.' So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in because of the number of fish. So the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, 'It is the Lord.' When they climbed out on shore, they saw a charcoal fire with fish on it and bread. Jesus said, ' Bring some fish you just caught. Come, have breakfast.'
