On this Monday after Easter, the Gospel presents us with the passage of the women who, on going to the tomb of Jesus, find it empty and see an angel who announces to them that Jesus is risen. And while they are running to tell the disciples, they meet Jesus himself who tells them: “Go […]

On this first day of the week, already illuminated by the Resurrection of Jesus, the Gospel invites us to join those who continue to seek Jesus in the darkness, those who accompanied him at the crossside and perhaps went to the tomb where they had laid him. Mary Magdalene, moved by that deep love that

With the Resurrection of Jesus, God infused in the world a longing for life that impels us to the hereafter… a hope that ends only with death when we too enter the fullness of life. Let us not then look for Jesus in what does not give life, He lives in His Gospel Word even

For the Jews, feeling like children of Abraham was a kind of title of honor that gave them recognition and credibility; their faith in Abraham was the way of saying that they were sons of Isaac and Jacob, only God could be above Abraham; that is why when Jesus says that it existed before Abraham,

Truth and freedom are two words that seduce us; we easily think that we understand them, but how difficult it is to combine them and even more so to make them guide our lives. Truth and freedom, in the context in which Jesus pronounces these words, is the result of having believed in him and
