The world must see in us the same merciful Christ who appeared to the apostles.
The Word
Where is Jesus calling us to meet him?
Like the first Christians, we too need to see with new eyes, and Lent gave us the opportunity to clear our vision. Starting today, our mission is to catch sight of the risen Christ.
Does our trust in God withstand moments of turmoil?
Mark’s passion account is a map for Christians facing distress.
What can Jesus teach us about service and honor?
It is not enough to gaze on Jesus or hear his words. To “see” Jesus, one must accept the same mission from the Father.
How can living like Jesus help us find a home?
This week’s readings speak of the journey of Christians to their true homeland.
Why is it so difficult to keep our eyes on God?
Today’s Gospel reminds us how challenging it is to keep our attention on God.
How can our obedience lead to freedom?
For Isaac, obedience brought forth a nation. For Jesus, self-offering led to glory.
What does it mean to forgive as we’ve been forgiven?
Every time we set right some wrong we have done, we come that much closer to the faith of Jesus.
How can we respond to Christ’s unique call to serve those “outside the camp?”
In healing lepers, Jesus performed an act akin to raising the dead.
For This Purpose Have I Come
From its inception, Jesus’ mission was the conquest of death.
