Love has triumphed over hatred, life has conquered death, light has dispelled the darkness" once said late Pope Francis.With the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we are called to celebrate the risen Lord in our lives by letting His love overcome all our worries, sorrows, pains, sufferings, trials, persecutions, hardships and difficulties.

The whole earth keeps silence because the King is asleep. The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and he has raised up all who have slept ever since the world began. God has died in the flesh and hell trembles with fear.

He is goodness and patience itself; His mercy is moved by the tears of sinners, and he never refuses pardon and grace to those who ask it with a truly contrite and humbled heart – St. Charles Borromeo Fri, 03 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0700 2nd-april-holy-thursday https://revfico.com/posts/2nd-april-holy-thursday The washing of the feet and the sacrament of the Eucharist: two expressions of one and the same mystery of love entrusted to the disciples, so that, Jesus says, “as I have done… so also must you do” (Jn 13: 15).  – St. John Paul II Thu, 02 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0700 1st-april-st-hugh-of-grenoble-1 https://revfico.com/posts/1st-april-st-hugh-of-grenoble-1 This life is all given us for weeping and penance, not for idle discourses. Vanity and inordinate affections suffice to damn a soul. It is only through the divine mercy that we can hope to be saved, and shall we ever cease to implore it? - St. Hugh of Grenoble Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0700 31st-march-st-balbina https://revfico.com/posts/31st-march-st-balbina Saint Balbina you were a true example of God’s grace manifested here in the world, intercede for me, to grow spiritually and be filled with God’s grace. Pray that God may overshadow me with His power, to resist sin, experience His love, and become a better steward of His manifold grace to all. Amen!

When we realise that we have fallen into serious sin, we should not give way to despair... but should turn to Jesus trustingly and contritely - Blessed Amadeus of Savoy Mon, 30 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0700 palm-sunday-of-the-passion-of-the-lord-year-a-1 https://revfico.com/posts/palm-sunday-of-the-passion-of-the-lord-year-a-1 Today’s celebration of Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord, clearly displays, makes visible and shows us what our christian life looks like, as disciples of Christ. The gospel reading we heard at the beginning of Mass from Matthew Chapter 21, verses 1 to 11 after the blessings of the palms, emphasizes our firmness of faith in God and our commitment to be His disciples. The triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem then reminds us of our loyalty to God and the call to persevere in our lives as children of God. ...
