Hardly a day ever passes without us feeling agitated about something.
Actually, if we are agitated about something, it is more likely that we are agitated about that someone who is behind that something.
So, it is usually people that agitate us and we take it on the situation.
So when we complain about a place being dirty, we are actually pointing to the cleaners, without saying it.
When we complain about not understanding a presentation, we are actually saying that the presenter is not clear or simple enough to understand.
When the Risen Christ appeared to His disciples, He noticed that they were agitated.
And Jesus pointed out the cause of their agitation – it was from the doubts rising in their hearts.
The disciples were in a state of alarm and fright, and they thought they were seeing a ghost.
But Jesus came to bring them peace, and their agitation turned to celebration and later on to mission.
May the Risen Christ grant us consolation in our agitation, so that we will be at peace and can help those who are agitated.
