The Healing That Leads to Life
View MoreWe may be moving through life, yet inwardly unable to rise. The only way to be freed from this condition is through living faith—faith rooted in our baptism, where we were born of water and the Spirit. In baptism, Christ cleanses us, raises us, and calls us into a new way of life.

Fear, Love, and the Empty Tomb
View MoreThe empty tomb confronts the Myrrhbearing Women with a call to trust: trust that Jesus—whom they followed, who spoke of God as Father, who obeyed even unto death—has been vindicated by God. His resurrection overturns the judgment of the world and reveals Him as God’s Anointed.

Where the Living and the Dead Stand Together
View MoreOur loved ones who have fallen asleep are themselves witnesses to Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. Their genuine acts of love and compassion were the works of God shining through them. For when Christians allow God’s love to take hold of them, they are transformed—made capable of a selfless love that is divine in origin. Christian life is a life turned outward, a new way of being with others. This is the life Christ promises.

Great and Holy Friday: Becoming Human in the Stature of Christ
View More…Christ’s death is not only a revelation; it is an invitation. He shows us the path, but He does not walk it for us. He opens the way, but He does not force us onto it. He gives His “Yes” to the Father’s will, but He waits for ours.

Fifth Sunday of Great Lent
View MoreOver the next two weeks, we have some meaningful work ahead of us—work that requires a shift in how we approach life, along with a real commitment to focus and discipline. The final days of Lent are our chance to pause and reassess our journey, looking at our lives through the lens of faith. But this kind of reflection isn’t passive, it takes effort and intention. Christ teaches that the path to the kingdom of God is narrow, and it’s up to us to embrace that challenge, making conscious choices to walk that road with purpose.
