How do love and suffering connect? Do we have to suffer if we love? How do we reconcile Jesus’ love and His suffering? In today’s Scriptures, we hear how the Apostle Paul and his companions suffered, and how they were then filled with joy as a result. How does that happen? We know Jesus suffered and loved, and so then the Apostles did as well. What does that mean for us?

The 3rd Sunday of Easter -- May 4 2025
Today’s readings continue the post-Resurrection story of “what now?”. Jesus has risen from the dead, and the Apostles are still confused about what to do. One view of today’s Gospel is that Peter says “I’m going fishing” as a way to say he doesn’t know what else to do, so he’ll go back to what he’s always done. Another way to look at it is that he was feeling unworthy of Jesus’ call and Ministry. Jesus said “Follow Me”, and Peter says, “I’m going fishing”. And the others with him follow. Whichever way you look at it, today’s readings are sure to challenge.

The 2nd Sunday of Easter -- April 27 2025
Last week, we celebrated the culmination of Salvation history, the Resurrection of Jesus. What happens now? What’s next? Is it all downhill from there? Hardly. While Jesus is the fullness of revelation, He continues to work through us, and in the case of the readings for this week, through the Apostles, even when they doubt.

Easter Sunday -- April 20 2025
He is Risen! Alleluia! Today is the Holiest of all the Holy Days of the Liturgical Year, and today we can once again use the “A” word, Alleluia, which we do not use during Lent. Let the joy of the Resurrection fill your heart today and throughout the Easter Season!
