View All30th March - Holy Saturday
Today a great silence reigns on earth, a great silence and a great stillness. A great stillness because the King is asleep. The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and has raised up all who have slept since the world began… ” I order you, O sleeper, to awake. I did not create you to be a prisoner in hell. Rise from the dead, for I am the life of the dead.” (From an ancient homily on Holy Saturday)
Second Sunday of Advent, Year B
My brothers and sisters, let us start preparing the way of the Lord and make straight His paths this Advent season, as we are told in today’s readings, by doing a thorough examination of our consciences, that is by prayerfully reflecting on our thoughts, words, and deeds in order to identify our sins and failings, confess them, and go back to God.
Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
My dear brothers and sisters, today’s Solemnity is a wake up call for us to acknowledge the kingship of Christ, show our loyalty to Him, establish His kingdom in our world, actively participate in it, proclaim it, promote it and expand it through our lives and our apostolate. So let us renew our relationship with Him by loving Him, the King of Kings, through our love for our neighbors in our practice of the corporal works of mercy.
