The encounter […]

“He saw and believed. For until then they had not understood the Scripture…” (Jn. 20:1-9) Happy Easter! Peter and John run to the tomb and, seeing it empty, their hearts take the great leap of faith.

“Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.” (Mt. 28:1-10) On this Holy Night, light breaks the darkness forever!

“I have set an example for you, so that what I have done to you, you will also do.” (Jn. 13:1-15) Today is the day of love that kneels. At the Last Supper, Jesus takes off his cloak, lowers himself, and washes the weary feet of his friends. It teaches us that true greatness is

“It was night.” Jn. 13:21-33. 36-38In the intimacy of the Last Supper, Jesus shudders and announces the betrayal.

“Look at your king, who comes to you, humble, riding on a donkey.” Mt. 21:1-11.Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem marks a turning point: the King arrives, but not as many expected.

“Even if you don’t believe me, believe by good works.” Jn. 10:31-42.Jesus is once again faced with misunderstanding and rejection.
