April 24, 2025 Thursday in the Octave of Easter: Witnesses of the Risen Christ Today’s readings draw us into the heart of the Christian mystery—Jesus Christ risen from the dead, and our calling to witness this truth to the world. In the First Reading (Acts 3:11–26), Peter speaks boldly in Solomon’s Portico. A miracle has occurred—a crippled man now walks, and the crowd is stunned. But Peter does not take credit. Instead, he points to Jesus, the “author of life,” whom the people had rejected, but whom God raised from the dead. Peter’s words echo with grace and mercy. He acknowledges the people acted “out of ignorance,” and now he calls them to repent and be converted, so their sins may be wiped away. This is not a message of condemnation but of restoration—an invitation to receive “times of refreshment” through Christ. In the Gospel (Luke 24:35–48), the disciples are still grappling with the Resurrection. Jesus appears and offers peace. He shows them His hands and feet. He eats in their presence. He opens their minds to understand the Scriptures, grounding their faith not in feeling but in fulfilled prophecy. Then comes the mission: “You are witnesses of these things.” This mission is ours too. As Christians, we are called to proclaim repentance, forgiveness, and resurrection, not just with words, but with our lives. Reflection Questions: Have I allowed Christ to open my heart to understand His Word more deeply? In what ways am I a witness to His resurrection today? Where in my life do I need to hear His words, “Peace be with you”?

April 23, 2025 Wednesday in the Octave of Easter – The Breaking of the Bread and the Power of Faith Walking, Leaping, Praising – A New Beginning As we continue celebrating the joy of the Resurrection during this Octave of Easter, today’s readings remind us of how encounters with the risen Christ transform hearts, lives, and communities. In Acts 3, we meet a man who had never walked a day in his life. Carried daily to the temple gate to beg, he was likely overlooked, pitied, or even ignored. But not today. Peter and John stop and offer him something beyond material aid: “I have neither silver nor gold, but what I do have I give you: in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, rise and walk.” What follows is a scene of joy and astonishment. The man leaps to his feet, walks into the temple, and praises God. This miraculous moment echoes the new life that the Resurrection offers—not just physical healing, but spiritual restoration and renewed dignity. Recognizing Jesus on the Road – Luke 24:13–35 The Gospel reading takes us to the road to Emmaus. Two disciples are walking away from Jerusalem, confused and disheartened after Jesus’ crucifixion. As they speak of their sorrow, a stranger joins them and begins to walk alongside them. It is Jesus, but they do not recognize Him. He listens. He teaches. He breaks open the Scriptures. And finally, at table: “He took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him.” It’s in the breaking of the bread that their eyes are opened. Their hearts, once burdened, are now burning. This is how Christ often comes to us—quietly, patiently, and profoundly—especially in the Eucharist. Faith that Moves, Faith that Walks Both stories today center around recognition and response. One man is physically healed and leaps into new life. Two others are spiritually awakened and return immediately to Jerusalem with renewed purpose. In both cases, Jesus is the source of the transformation. We are invited today to ask ourselves: Where do I need healing? Where am I walking away, when I should be walking toward? Am I open to recognizing Jesus in the people and places I least expect? The joy of the Resurrection is not just for Easter Sunday—it’s meant to fuel our daily lives, lift us from discouragement, and send us back into the world walking, leaping, and praising God. Prayer for the Journey Lord Jesus, walk beside me as you did with the disciples on the road to Emmaus. Open my heart to your Word and my eyes to your presence. Help me rise from whatever holds me back and go forth praising you. In your name, Amen.

April 22, 2025 Tuesday in the Octave of Easter Reflection: Recognizing the Risen Lord Today’s readings on this Tuesday in the Octave of Easter invite us to embrace transformation and recognize the presence of the Risen Lord in our lives. In the first reading (Acts 2:36-41), Peter boldly proclaims to the Jewish people, “Let the whole house of Israel know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” Cut to the heart, the people ask what they must do. Peter responds with an invitation: “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” His message is urgent and universal — the promise of salvation is for everyone, near and far. That day, about three thousand souls were baptized, marking the beginning of a new life in Christ for many. The Gospel (John 20:11-18) shifts to a deeply personal encounter between Mary Magdalene and the risen Jesus. Grieving at the empty tomb, Mary sees angels and then turns to see Jesus Himself, though she does not immediately recognize Him. It is only when Jesus lovingly calls her by name — “Mary” — that her eyes are opened, and she responds with the affectionate title, “Rabbouni,” meaning Teacher. This moment is rich in meaning. It reminds us that Jesus knows each of us personally and calls us individually. Often, in the midst of our own grief or confusion, we may fail to recognize His presence. Yet He stands close, ready to reveal Himself when we are ready to hear Him call us by name. Today, we are invited to: Repent and renew our commitment to follow Christ wholeheartedly, as Peter urged. Recognize Jesus in the ordinary and extraordinary moments of our daily lives, just as Mary did. Share the Good News, as Mary Magdalene did when she ran to announce, “I have seen the Lord!” The Resurrection is not just a past event — it is a living reality that changes everything. Let us live today in the joy and hope of Easter, confident that Christ is with us, calling us by name, and sending us forth to be His witnesses.

April 21, 2025 Monday in the Octave of Easter: Continuing the Joy of the Resurrection Easter is not just a day—it’s a season. On this Monday in the Octave of Easter, we continue to celebrate the victory of Jesus over death, rejoicing in the hope that His Resurrection brings to the world. In the First Reading (Acts 2:14, 22-33), we hear Peter’s powerful proclamation on the day of Pentecost. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Peter boldly tells the people of Israel that Jesus the Nazorean—whom they crucified—has been raised by God. Peter reminds them that even King David foresaw the Resurrection, rejoicing that God would not allow His Holy One to see corruption. Jesus’ triumph over death is the fulfillment of God’s eternal promise. In the Gospel (Matthew 28:8-15), we walk with Mary Magdalene and the other Mary as they leave the empty tomb, overwhelmed with both fear and joy. Along the way, they encounter the risen Christ, who greets them with love and peace. Jesus reassures them, saying, “Do not be afraid,” and sends them to announce the Good News to the disciples. Meanwhile, others plot to cover up the truth—but the power of the Resurrection cannot be hidden. Today reminds us: Christ is alive. Hope is renewed. Our journey of Easter joy has only begun. Let us carry this spirit into every day of the Easter season, living with faith, courage, and trust in the promises of God. Alleluia! He is Risen!

April 20, 2025 The Resurrection of the Lord – Easter Sunday Reflection The Greatest Celebration: Christ Is Risen Easter Sunday is the most important day of the Christian faith. Today, we rejoice in the Resurrection of the Lord, celebrating His victory over sin and death. This moment marks the fulfillment of God’s promise and the hope of eternal life for all who believe. First Reading: Witnesses to the Resurrection (Acts 10:34a, 37-43) Peter proclaims the good news:Jesus of Nazareth, anointed with the Holy Spirit, went about doing good and healing. Though He was crucified, God raised Him on the third day. Peter and the chosen witnesses ate and drank with the risen Christ. They are now commissioned to proclaim that forgiveness of sins is offered through His name. Key Point: Jesus’ Resurrection is not a myth — it is testified by eyewitnesses who lived, ate, and walked with the risen Lord. Second Reading: Seek What Is Above (Colossians 3:1-4) Paul urges us to live with our hearts set on the things of heaven.Those raised with Christ are called to focus on the eternal, not the earthly. Our true life is hidden with Christ, and when He appears, we too will appear in glory. Key Point: Our lives are forever changed by the Resurrection. We are called to live for heavenly glory, not earthly distractions. Gospel: The Empty Tomb (John 20:1-9) Mary Magdalene discovers the stone rolled away from the tomb.She runs to tell Peter and John. They find the burial cloths left behind. Though they did not fully understand yet, they saw and believed. Key Point: Faith sometimes begins in wonder and awe before full understanding. The empty tomb is the first sign of the Resurrection. Living the Resurrection Today Today, as we celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord on Easter Sunday, we are called to live as people of hope and joy. Christ is victorious over death. Our sins are forgiven through His sacrifice. Eternal life is now open to us. Let us go forth like Peter and the apostles, proclaiming this good news to the world. Christ is risen! He is truly risen!

April 19, 2025 Holy Saturday – The Easter Vigil: Celebrating the Resurrection and Creation The Light Shines in the Darkness Holy Saturday marks the turning point from sorrow to joy. During the Easter Vigil, we remember the power of God’s creation and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The liturgy invites us to journey from the very beginning of creation to the victory of life over death. Reading I: God’s Hand in Creation “In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth…” (Genesis 1:1) The Easter Vigil begins with the beautiful retelling of the creation story from Genesis. We are reminded that God brought order out of chaos, light out of darkness, and life out of emptiness. Each step of creation reveals God’s goodness and love. As we hear the account of the heavens, the earth, the seas, the creatures, and finally humanity, we reflect on how each moment was declared “very good.” Creation was not random — it was purposeful, loving, and filled with hope. The Culmination of the Easter Vigil: The Empty Tomb “Why do you seek the living one among the dead? He is not here, but he has been raised.” (Luke 24:5-6) The Gospel of Luke brings the culmination of our waiting. The women who loved Jesus arrived at the tomb, only to find it empty. In their confusion and fear, angels appeared and proclaimed the astonishing news: Jesus had risen from the dead. Their sorrow turned to amazement, and even though the apostles were hesitant to believe, the seeds of faith and joy were planted. Peter, running to the tomb, symbolizes the heart of every believer eager to witness the promise fulfilled. Reflecting on the Seven Readings of the Vigil The Easter Vigil typically includes seven Old Testament readings before the New Testament and Gospel readings, each recounting key moments of God’s saving work: Creation (Genesis 1:1—2:2) – God’s first act of love. The Sacrifice of Isaac (Genesis 22) – Prefiguring Christ’s own sacrifice. The Exodus from Egypt (Exodus 14) – God’s deliverance from bondage. Prophetic Promises (Isaiah, Baruch, Ezekiel) – Renewal, restoration, and new life. The Resurrection (Luke 24:1-12) – The fulfillment of all promises. Each reading moves the heart from memory to hope, from sorrow to joy. Embracing the Light of Christ The Easter Vigil is rich with symbols: the Paschal candle, the newly blessed fire, the water of baptism, and the proclamation of the Resurrection. Each sign invites us to renew our commitment to Christ, to step out of darkness, and to walk boldly in the light. Holy Saturday teaches us that in our darkest nights, God’s light is already at work. Resurrection is not a distant hope — it begins now.

In Isaiah 52:13–53:12, we hear of the one who “was pierced for our offenses, crushed for our sins.” Christ bore our infirmities and carried the burden of guilt for all humanity. By His stripes, we are healed. The Gospel of John (18:1–19:42) brings to life the Passion narrative in vivid and moving detail. Jesus, betrayed by a friend, stands alone before human judgment. Despite being condemned unjustly, He remains silent in suffering, fully embracing the mission the Father entrusted to Him: to redeem the world through love, sacrifice, and obedience. From His arrest in the garden to His final words on the Cross — “It is finished” — Christ’s Passion is not just a story of death, but of hope fulfilled. His death opened the way to life for all who believe. A Time for Silence and Gratitude Good Friday is not a day of despair. It is a day of reverent silence and humble gratitude. Jesus’ death is the ultimate act of love — a love that embraces every pain, every sin, and every longing of the human heart. Today invites us to: Reflect on the mystery of God’s love. Honor Christ’s sacrifice through prayer and contemplation. Embrace peace knowing that through His wounds, we are healed. As we venerate the Cross today, let our hearts be filled not with sorrow alone, but with awe at the mercy and grace given freely to us. Honoring the Gift The Passion reminds us that salvation is not earned — it is given. Christ offered Himself fully so that we might be reconciled to God. In this, we find our hope, even as we contemplate the suffering. In every trial, we remember: Jesus has already carried the weight of our burdens. His sacrifice was not only for humanity as a whole — it was personal. It was for you. It was for me. Today, let us honor His sacrifice with peace in our hearts and renewed trust in His promise. “By His stripes, we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) Explore Our Latest Articles Peace and Reflection Today: Honoring Jesus’ Sacrifice April 18, 2025 Latest Articles April 17, 2025 Holy Thursday: The Lord’s Supper and Service On Holy Thursday, we enter into the sacred mystery of the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper.

April 17, 2025 Holy Thursday: The Lord’s Supper and Service On Holy Thursday, we enter into the sacred mystery of the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper. It is a night of remembrance, humility, and divine love — the foundation of the New Covenant. The Passover: A Foreshadowing of Salvation In the First Reading from Exodus 12:1-8, 11-14, we hear God’s instructions to Moses and Aaron. The Israelites are to sacrifice a spotless lamb and mark their doorposts with its blood. This act of faith would cause the Lord to “pass over” their homes, sparing them from the devastation brought upon Egypt. This moment foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, the true Lamb of God, who offers His life to save us from sin and death. Jesus Washes the Feet of His Disciples In the Gospel of John 13:1-15, we witness a profound act of humility: Jesus, knowing His time had come, kneels to wash the feet of His disciples. This powerful gesture reveals the heart of His mission — not to be served, but to serve. Peter’s initial resistance reminds us how difficult it can be to accept such radical love. Yet Jesus teaches that true greatness comes through humility and service. “I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.” (John 13:15) Living the Mandate of Love Holy Thursday is not only a memorial of the Last Supper but also a call to action. Christ commands us to love one another as He has loved us — through self-giving, humility, and compassion. In every act of kindness, in every moment of forgiveness, we fulfill the commandment He gave that night. Conclusion As we commemorate the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper, let us remember the depth of God’s love revealed in the Passover and fulfilled in Christ. May we open our hearts to serve others and walk in His example of humility and sacrifice.

April 16, 2025 Facing Betrayal with Courage: Wednesday of Holy Week Reflection On this Wednesday of Holy Week, we are brought face to face with two powerful images: the faithful servant in Isaiahwho offers himself to suffering with unwavering resolve, and Judas Iscariot, who plots betrayal for thirty pieces of silver. In Isaiah 50, the servant speaks of receiving a “well-trained tongue” to console the weary and of listening each morning for God’s guidance. Despite rejection and abuse, he does not retreat. He sets his face “like flint,” confident in the Lord’s help. This prophetic passage echoes Christ’s own path to the Cross—marked by obedience, suffering, and unwavering trust in the Father. The Gospel of Matthew gives us a stark contrast. As Jesus prepares for Passover with his disciples, he reveals that one of them will betray him. Judas, already having accepted silver from the chief priests, plays innocent—“Surely it is not I, Rabbi?” Jesus’ response is haunting: “You have said so.” This moment calls us to pause. How often do we, like Judas, betray Jesus with our actions, even while trying to keep up appearances? And yet, Jesus still sits at the table with his betrayer. He offers love in the face of betrayal, just as Isaiah’s servant offers himself despite being struck and spat upon. Today’s readings invite us to ask: Are we willing to speak words that rouse the weary? Will we set our faces like flint in times of trial? Will we stay at the table, even when we feel unworthy? As we draw near to the Triduum, let us reflect on the courage of Christ. His betrayal was not a surprise—it was part of his offering. May we remain with Him, faithful and listening, each morning.

April 15, 2025 Tuesday of Holy Week Reflection “The LORD called me from birth, from my mother’s womb he gave me my name.” — Isaiah 49:1 On this Tuesday of Holy Week, we are invited to step into the tension between divine purpose and human failure. Isaiah’s voice resounds from centuries past, proclaiming a servant called by God from the womb — a light meant to reach the ends of the earth. The Gospel then brings us to an upper room, dimly lit with the weight of unspoken dread, where Jesus reveals the betrayal of one of his closest companions. What is striking in these readings is the contrast between clarity and confusion, faith and faltering. Isaiah’s servant is certain of his mission — even when he feels as though he has “toiled in vain,” his strength spent, his hope remains anchored in God’s recompense. He knows his life is part of something bigger: a plan that includes restoration, light, and salvation for all nations. And yet, in the Gospel, we see what happens when human frailty encounters divine glory. Judas chooses betrayal, and Peter — full of zeal — promises loyalty, only to be gently warned by Jesus that he too will falter before the cock crows. Jesus, in the face of betrayal and denial, doesn’t lash out. He loves. He proceeds. He glorifies God. This moment teaches us something essential about discipleship: to be chosen doesn’t mean to be perfect. It means to keep walking toward the light, even through the night. Let this Tuesday be a moment of soul-searching. Where have we promised much, only to fall short? Where do we fear following Christ when it’s difficult? Like Isaiah’s servant, let’s remember: we were called from the womb. And like Peter, we may fall — but we are still called to follow.
