8 April 2023

Homily – April 8th, 2023 – The Easter Vigil in the Holy Night Rm 6:3-11; Mt 28:1-10 That violent darkness that has come upon us and surrounded the Crucifixion of the Lord gave way to the joyful, peaceful and intense light of the Resurrection.

16 April 2022

Is 52:13—53:12; Ps 31:2, 6, 12-13, 15-16, 17, 25; Heb 4:14-16; 5:7-9; Jn 18:1—19:42 One thing that strikes me every year when I read the Passion is that, as the Gospel is read, Jesus becomes more and more speechless, mute, His lines gradually fade out in the text… The Eternal Word of God becomes […]

The love of Christ can restore to spouses the joy of journeying together.Homily of Pope Francis

Today’s first reading speaks to us of the people’s journey through the desert.
