A priest explores why the apostles initially disbelieved Jesus' resurrection despite multiple appearances.

The episode is a 10-minute audio meditation from the show '10 Minutos com Jesus', designed for prayer. It begins with a standard opening prayer and adoration. The host, a priest, sets the context within the Easter Octave, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. He references the Gospel of Mark, detailing Jesus' appearances to Mary Magdalene, the two disciples on the road (likely the Emmaus disciples), and finally to the eleven apostles. The priest highlights the apostles' initial disbelief, sadness, and hardness of heart upon hearing news of the resurrection. Jesus censures them for this unbelief but simultaneously entrusts them with the mission to 'go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.' This contrast between human weakness and divine trust is a central theme. The priest notes this pattern of weak faith is not new, as Jesus had to censure lack of faith during his ministry, yet always maintained confidence in his followers. He connects this to the listener's baptismal call to be apostles. The meditation cites the Catechism of the Catholic Church (point 638) to affirm the resurrection as the culminating truth of the Christian faith. A contemporary analogy is drawn with the Artemis lunar mission, noting its media coverage but asserting that the mission to spread the Gospel of God's love, demonstrated through Christ's death and resurrection, is far more transformative and important. A story is shared about an Orthodox priest's tale of Jesus ascending to heaven, seeing only small lights in Jerusalem (the apostles with Mary), and stating he has no 'Plan B' for spreading the Gospel—the apostles are his only plan. This underscores the responsibility passed to all Christians. The episode becomes more reflective, posing direct questions to the listener about their personal apostolate, their encounter with the living Jesus in the Eucharist and Scripture, and their sense of mission. It references the day's first reading from Acts, where Peter and John refuse to stop preaching. The meditation concludes with a prayer to Our Lady, Queen of Apostles, for a missionary spirit, followed by a closing thanksgiving and petition for help in practicing the meditation's insights.
