What did the risen Christ say to his followers when he appeared to them, and what do his words say to us, as followers of the risen Christ, today?

His final words, such as “Go make disciples” and “Do you love me?” set the tone for each of the eight sessions and are the launching pad to explore such themes as community, reconciliation, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the call to evangelization. Each session features the Scripture text, a commentary, a series of reflection questions, and a call to action.
