This is Cardinal Francis George.

I invite you to join me for the next few minutes to reflect with Father Robert Barron on the Word of God, which is the Word on Fire.

Word on Fire Catholic Ministries is a non-profit ministry at the forefront of Catholic evangelization,

using new media to spread the faith on every continent.

Father Barron challenges us to open our hearts to the Word on Fire, which is God's

Word of Love for each of us.

If our hearts are open, the Lord can change and transform us so that we might speak with love

about the one who is love.

The global benefactors of Word on Fire,

with the support of the Archdiocese of Chicago,

now present Word on Fire.

Peace be with you.

French St. John the Evangelist is, of course, a spiritual master,

but he's a literary master as well, And we can see his skill on display throughout

his gospel, but perhaps especially in the stories dealing with the resurrected Jesus. You can find

them in the 20th and 21st chapters of his gospel. I might recommend during this Easter season,

take the time, maybe with your family,

to read through chapters 20 and 21 of John's Gospel. Well, the passage for today is from chapter 20,

and it contains, in short compass, the whole of Christianity, if we have the eyes to see it. You know how a great artist will do

this sometimes? He'll take the whole theme of a play or of a picture, and he'll put it in one

tiny corner. There's one scene in the play that somehow encapsulates the whole thing, or there's

one corner of the picture that sums up or encapsulates the whole thing. Or there's one corner of the picture that sums up or encapsulates the whole thing.
