b'Welcome back to another episode! We hope you had a meaningful Holy Week amid the ongoing pandemic. Today we answer a listener question from Tumblr about the different ways that we feel love and how reading queerly can teach us about the various forms of queer love and family.\\xa0\\nThen we queer the text from Luke 24:36-48. It talks about what happened after the resurrection and how the risen Christ made himself known to his disciples. We talked about how the divinity in each of us is recognized in the moment of Christ breaking the bread post-resurrection, how it calls us to continue the story by sharing what we\\u2019ve experienced that compelled us to do something good and new.\\nKey takeaways:\\n\\nLife updates from Brian and Fr.

They thought they were seeing a ghost.\\nHe said to them, \\u201cWhy are you startled? Why are doubts arising in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet. It\\u2019s really me! Touch me and see, for a ghost doesn\\u2019t have flesh and bones like you see I have.\\u201d As he said this, he showed them his hands and feet. Because they were wondering and questioning in the midst of their happiness, he said to them, \\u201cDo you have anything to eat?\\u201d They gave him a piece of baked fish. Taking it, he ate it in front of them.\\nJesus said to them, \\u201cThese are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you\\u2014that everything written about me in the Law from Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled.\\u201d Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures. He said to them, \\u201cThis is what is written: the Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and a change of heart and life for the forgiveness of sins must be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.\\n\\n \\nPhoto by Tom Parsons\\nThe post The Resurrection and Humanity – Luke 24:36-48 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
