Friday of the Second Week of Easter

In the gospel, Jesus said, “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” By these words, one would think that Jesus has already given us the way on how to get to know the Father. And yet one wonders why does getting to know […]

Wednesday of the Second Week of Easter

Today’s Gospel reading reminds us that because of God’s infinite love for mankind, He offered His only son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. The breadth of his redemptive love shines not only on individuals, but embraces the whole world. He sent his beloved Son, so that every man, woman and child may know […]

Tuesday of the Second Week of Easter

Being “born again” can mean being renewed by the Holy Spirit, and then taking action to help spread the Word of God. Like the wind, we do not know when the Holy Spirit will come and to whom, but one thing is for sure: when the Holy Spirit descends upon someone, positive and exciting change […]

Friday in the Octave of Easter

After receiving the Holy Spirit, the disciples went back to their usual lives. When Peter initiated that he was going out to “fish,” the others “followed.” Unfortunately, they did not catch anything. Probably they were thinking about Christ and about what just happened when Christ “commissioned” them to continue his work. Probably they were thinking […]

Thursday in the Octave of Easter

The apostles must really have taken a hard fall with the suffering and death of their Master… that they were just soaking in misery and pain that they were simply oblivious to the realities occurring before them.

Wednesday in the Octave of Easter

We live in a world where to see is to believe. But sometimes we need to walk by faith and not by sight. In the road to Emmaus, the two men did not recognize Jesus at all. And this was just after the resurrection. Even after Jesus was recounting and giving a summary of the […]

How many times have we failed to recognize the presence of the Lord in our lives? More often than not, when things do not go our way, our immediate reaction is to think that God has abandoned us. We let our emotions and anxiety take over. We forget to pray. We even blame God for […]

Monday in the Octave of Easter

When we read the apparition stories, we are assured that one day we too will be raised from death. But to the people of Jesus’ time, his apparition to his apostles after his death attested to the truth of his statement. After the raising of Lazarus from the dead, he told the people that he […]

Good Friday

Today is Good Friday. The Gospel reading of today, the Passion of the Lord according to John, narrates the sufferings of our Lord from the betrayal of Judas in the Garden of Gethsemane to his death on the cross and subsequent burial. These events are clearly not “good”; when we have similar experiences of difficulties, […]
