Daily Reflections

“Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 

So too with us. Christ calls us to proclaim the good news of his resurrection, however imperfectly we may do so, knowing that at times in our bumpy, uncertain lives, our faith may feel like soul-jolting potholes of unbelief — and yet, and yet, Christ calls us, anyway.

Throughout the Easter season, let’s see how we can become better disciples of Christ so we can witness to the ends of the earth.

The fountain of the Scriptures is bubbling with refreshment these days of Easter; in the Easter lectionary the abundance from its treasure chest is thrown open to us.

Education alone is not enough to make us aware of Christ’s presence. We also need Faith.

I wonder how I can bring the great experience I had of being loved and cared for, to everyone I meet. My journey and quest continue to this day.

Perhaps today you can find a quiet spot to be in the presence of God to experience the Spirit alive in you and all around you.

Does resurrection begin with confusion?  In a way, it does.  Yet this is typical of the Divine One’s story engaging humanity. 

Today is a time for deep, spiritual pondering – helping us celebrate the true meaning of our lives as followers of Jesus Crucified, members of the Passionist Family. 

On this day, we read the Passion from John’s Gospel – a gospel account that presents Jesus as victorious. It is our victory too.
