In this episode of Working the Lectionary, your hosts Brendan Byrne and John Bottomley examine readings for Easter 2 & 3. In Easter 2, we reflect on how the Gospel According to John's account of Jesus' gracious response to Thomas' fear-fueled bravado liberates us from the tyranny of pretense that we are not vulnerable and wounded, which capitalism's profit motive and competition-saturated workplace culture impose upon us; while for Easter 3, a reading from the Gospel According to Luke provides the basis for discussing how the Church can care for those who are wounded by work as well as bring its pastoral reflections out of the sphere of private contemplation into the public world of work.
