Homily (Reflection) for Monday of the
Second Week of Easter (12th April, 2021) on the Gospel

Acts 4:23-31;<o:p></o:p>

Ps 2:1-9. (R. cf. v.13);<o:p></o:p>

Jn 3:1-8.<o:p></o:p>

Topic: Unless you are BORN AGAIN.<o:p></o:p>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bFt5M_6RkuU/YHPIPi3IP6I/AAAAAAAAGlY/2KQuzgDt044q5AYl6MQ_p2VqEKz1nrMtgCLcBGAsYHQ/s259/12.04.2021.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="259" data-original-width="194" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bFt5M_6RkuU/YHPIPi3IP6I/AAAAAAAAGlY/2KQuzgDt044q5AYl6MQ_p2VqEKz1nrMtgCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/12.04.2021.png" /></a></div> In today’s gospel, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “I tell
you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God” (Jn 3:3; NLT). This reminds me of a
friend who requested to know how true it is that one must be born again to be
saved.<o:p></o:p>

This is very true. However, the true meaning of being a born again eludes many. Nicodemus first
sought the meaning of born again. Jesus said to him, “Very truly, I tell you,
no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit” (Jn 3:5). Again, we read from the gospel
according to Saint Mark, “He who believes and is baptized will be saved...” (Mk 16:16). Therefore, being born again
is synonymous with being baptized. <o:p></o:p>

However, baptism goes with obligations. While giving mandate
to His disciples Jesus said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,
baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you” (Matt 28:19-20a). <o:p></o:p>

That one after baptism fails to live out his/her baptismal
vows does in no way prove that baptism is no longer the key to our salvation
but that we must be careful. Thus, Jesus warns, “Not everyone who says to me,
‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my
Father who is in heaven” (Matt 7:21).<o:p></o:p>

The apostles understood what one must do to be saved. When
the jailer asked Paul and Silas, “Sirs,
what must I do to be saved? (Acts
16:30)”, <o:p></o:p>

<blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;">They answered, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be
saved, you and your household.’ They spoke the word of the Lord to him and to
all who were in his house...then he and his entire family were baptized without
delay (Acts 16:31-33).</blockquote></blockquote></blockquote>

At baptism, we were buried with Christ into His death, so
that ... we too might walk in newness of life, cf. Rom 6:4; Col 2:12. In sum, Saint Peter wrote, “Baptism... saves you”
(1Pt 3:21).<o:p></o:p>

Let us therefore confuse others no more. That one must be
baptized again is heresy. We need to help all baptized live out their baptismal
vows. And teach all who have not been baptized to accept Jesus Christ and be
baptized.<o:p></o:p>

Bible Reading: Acts 2:37-42.<o:p></o:p>

Thought for today: Baptism... saves.<o:p></o:p>

Divine Mercy Sunday based on the devotion to the Divine Mercy as propagated by
a Polish Nun, Saint Faustina Kowalska. This feast (Divine Mercy Sunday) has
lots of promises of grace made by Jesus Christ as recorded by Saint Faustina.
It was officially instituted for the universal Church by Pope Saint John Paul
II on 30th April 2000 and designated the Sunday after Easter as the
Sunday of the Divine Mercy. This is in line with the request made by Jesus
Christ through Saint Faustina: “…the first Sunday after Easter is the Feast of
Mercy” (Diary 742). For Pope Saint John Paul II, Divine Mercy is the Easter
gift that the Church receives from the risen Christ and offers to humanity
(Divine Mercy Sunday Homily, April 22, 2001).

Topic: Divine (God’s) Mercy.<o:p></o:p>

We celebrate today the Mercy of God.
And because this feast is rooted in Saint Faustina’s encounter with Jesus
Christ, we shall take some excerpts from Saint Faustina’s Diary (Diary). Christ
suffered and died for our sins, cf. Eph
2:16, Rom 5:10, 1Cor 15:3, Gal 1:4. Yet in Diary 965 we read: “Souls perish
in spite of My [Jesus’] bitter Passion. I am giving them the last hope of
salvation; that is, the Feast of My Mercy. If they will not adore My mercy,
they will perish for all eternity….” The mercy we celebrate can only be
obtained by those who want. It can be likened to a stream in two senses: it
ever flows and secondly it benefits those who go for it. Unless one approaches the
Divine throne of mercy that ever flows, it will not be of any benefit to the
person. <o:p></o:p>

One may ask, ‘how does one approach the throne of mercy?’ Going
further Jesus said to Saint Faustina: “I want to grant a complete pardon
to the souls that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion on the Feast
of My Mercy” (Diary 1109). Sacramental confession is therefore sine qua non for
one to benefit from the throne of mercy. Although this homily is not on the
authority to forgive sin, but it is important however, to remind ourselves that
at the confessional, it is not the priest that forgives sin. In today’s gospel
Jesus said to the disciples: “…Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins
of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are
retained (Jn 20:22-23). In other
words, it is the Holy Spirit that is working in the Church through the
instrumentality of mere humans (priests) at the confessional.<o:p></o:p>

Jesus assures us,<o:p></o:p>

I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a
refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day
the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces
upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to
Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain the complete forgiveness of
sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which grace
flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be
as scarlet (Diary 699).

Remember that God had called us through the prophet Isaiah
using similar words: “Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though
your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red
like crimson, they shall become like wool” (Is 1:18).

However, Jesus warns that those who look for mercy must be first
merciful themselves, cf. Diary
742.
Similarly, we read in the gospel according to Matthew: “Blessed are the
merciful, for they shall obtain mercy” (Matt
5:7). Again, Jesus warns, “...if you forgive others their trespasses, your
heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others,
neither will your Father forgive your trespasses” (Matt 6:14-15). So, approach the throne of grace today for mercy. However,
you must remember those who need mercy as you approach divine mercy.

Bible Reading: Lev 5:5-13; Is 1:2-20; Ps 32; Matt 28:16-20; 1Jn
1:5-10; Jas 5:13-20.<o:p></o:p>

Thought for today:
What prevents you from receiving Christ’s Easter gift?

Let us pray: Merciful Father, help us to benefit
fully from this unmerited gift – Amen.

Homily (Reflection) for Easter Saturday
(Octave of Easter: Saturday) (10th April, 2021) on the Gospel

Acts 4:13-21;<o:p></o:p>

Ps 117:1.14-21 (R. v. 21);<o:p></o:p>

Mk 16:9-15.<o:p></o:p>

Topic: Never write off.<o:p></o:p>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qowft_xyzK8/YHEgI4L7mrI/AAAAAAAAGlI/Y_GmkUIiGzgTQ_Y0q7WKV9ImHAYW1d9qgCLcBGAsYHQ/s240/10.04.2021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="180" data-original-width="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qowft_xyzK8/YHEgI4L7mrI/AAAAAAAAGlI/Y_GmkUIiGzgTQ_Y0q7WKV9ImHAYW1d9qgCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/10.04.2021.jpg" /></a></div> Today’s gospel is from the longer ending of Saint Mark’s
gospel. The gospel tells us that Jesus after His resurrection appeared first to
Mary Magdalene. She related that to His disciples who were mourning and
weeping, but they did not believe her story. He later appeared to two of His
disciples but the rest did not believe them.<o:p></o:p>

Jesus later appeared to the eleven while they were at table.
He first scolded them for their lack of faith and stubbornness. And then said
to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole
creation.” <o:p></o:p>

Mary Magdalene, the first to witness Christ’s resurrection
was a demoniac. Jesus had cast out seven demons from her. Just imagine her
condition before her deliverance, cf. Mk
5:2-5. On the other hand, the eleven Jesus commissioned to take the gospel
to all creatures did not only lack faith but were also very stubborn. Yet Jesus
did not write any of them off. Instead, He corrected them for good.<o:p></o:p>

The book of Proverbs reads, “Train up a child in the way he
should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it” (Prov 22:6). It is never a sign of love to condone any form of evil.
God reproves all whom He loves like a father, cf. Prov 3:12; Heb 12:6. <o:p></o:p>

Let us therefore keep correcting each other. Whatever is
wrong today calls for correction for a better tomorrow. We will end up
endangering our tomorrow if we fail to correct anything today under the pretext
of love or hate.<o:p></o:p>

Let us pray: Lord, help us correct each other for your greater glory and for our safer tomorrow – Amen.<o:p></o:p>

Ps 117:1-2. 4.22-27. (R. v. 22);<o:p></o:p>

Jn 21:1-14.<o:p></o:p>

Topic: Uphold your call.<o:p></o:p>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aXurv-GpxjA/YG_Pge3A7PI/AAAAAAAAGlA/wWBj9x0E68AvIdtz3fe8nvwIewiAFtEYgCLcBGAsYHQ/s259/09.04.2021.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="194" data-original-width="259" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aXurv-GpxjA/YG_Pge3A7PI/AAAAAAAAGlA/wWBj9x0E68AvIdtz3fe8nvwIewiAFtEYgCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/09.04.2021.png" /></a></div> In today’s gospel, seven of Jesus’ disciples fished all night
without success. Jesus came to them at daybreak but they did not recognise Him.
When they told Him that they caught nothing He said to them, “Cast the net to
the right of the boat, and you will find some.” And when they did that, they
found it difficult to haul it because there were so many fish. Then the beloved
disciple said, “It is the Lord!” And on hearing this, Peter who was naked put
on some clothes and jumped into the sea.<o:p></o:p>

Remember, when Jesus met Peter and Andrew by the Sea of
Galilee casting a net into the sea He said to them, “Follow me, and I will make
you fish for people” The bible tells us that they left their nets and followed
Jesus. Similarly, James and John also left their boat and their father and
followed Him, cf. Matt 4:18-22; Mk 1:16-20.   <o:p></o:p>

Everyone is called to different states and positions. Every
state and position goes with specific tasks. And each one is expected to live
out his or her own call, cf. 1Cor 12:12-31.
Saint Paul admonished his son, “Do not neglect the gift you have, which was
given you by prophetic utterance when the council of elders laid their hands
upon you” (1Tim 4:14).<o:p></o:p>

Peter and his companions forgot their call to fish for people
and went back fishing for fish. And this is a negation of their call. <o:p></o:p>

Sometimes, we do find ourselves in the same mess. We must be
careful so as not to leave our call. Jesus warns, “No one who puts his hand to
the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God” (Lk 9:62). We ought to rekindle our call, and work out our own salvation
with fear and trembling without looking back, cf. 2Tim 1:6; Phil 2:12).<o:p></o:p>

gospel (Jn 24:35). And while the
eleven and their companions were talking about what were happening Jesus stood
among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” To reassure them that they
were not seeing a ghost, Jesus went further, <o:p></o:p>

Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your
hearts? Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and
see; for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.<o:p></o:p>

He went on and showed them His hands and feet, yet in their
joy they were disbelieving and wondering. Jesus also ate a piece of boiled fish
in their presence.<o:p></o:p>

Between Easter vigil and today, the apostles and their
companions had seen among other things the empty tomb, the angels, His
appearances, His hands and feet, and eating before them, yet their faith was
still shaky. Jesus then took them back to the scriptures to understand all that
happened. He opened their minds to understand the scriptures and also
commissioned them as witness. <o:p></o:p>

Their faith could not be firm on miracles alone. Jesus taught
them what is in the scriptures. There is serious need for all to go back to the
scriptures to know the will of God. We conclude with these words from the
scripture and the teaching of Saint Ambrose, “The Church ‘forcefully and
specifically exhorts all the Christian faithful... to learn ‘the surpassing
knowledge of Christ’, by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures. ‘Ignorance
of the Scriptures is the ignorance of Christ.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Fr.%20Moses/Desktop/Weekday%20Homilies/Daily%20Tonic%20for%20Year%20I%20(2020-2021)/Lent%20&amp;%20Easter/Easter%20Octave%20(2021).docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[1]</a>’”
All the questions that beg for answers today have all been answered by God in
His Word (bible). What we need is to open and see.<o:p></o:p>

Bible Reading: Phil 3:7-10; 2Tim 3:10-17.<o:p></o:p>

Thought for today: Jesus is truly risen.<o:p></o:p>

Let us pray: Lord, give me a heart that always
believes in you and not eyes that always seek for miracles – Amen.<o:p></o:p>

apostles and their companions an idle tale.<o:p></o:p>

That same day in today’s gospel, two of the disciples were
talking about all that had happened while on their way to Emmaus. Jesus joined
them and queried, “What are you discussing with each other while you walk
along?” Although amazed that someone in Jerusalem could ask such question, they
told Jesus all that bothered them. He explained to them everything about
Himself based on the scripture. On reaching where they were going, they urged
Jesus to stay with them. And they only recognised Jesus when He took bread,
blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.<o:p></o:p>

Catholic Mass is made up of two main parts (liturgies),
liturgy of the Word (readings, homily, and general intercessions), and the
liturgy of the Eucharist (presentation of the bread and wine, the consecratory
thanksgiving, and communion)<a href="file:///C:/Users/Fr.%20Moses/Desktop/Weekday%20Homilies/Daily%20Tonic%20for%20Year%20I%20(2020-2021)/Lent%20&amp;%20Easter/Easter%20Octave%20(2021).docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[1]</a>.
And in today’s gospel, Jesus our eternal high priest did it Himself. Hence our
topic, Catholic Mass celebrated by
Jesus Himself. Jesus is both the victim and the priest in every Mass<a href="file:///C:/Users/Fr.%20Moses/Desktop/Weekday%20Homilies/Daily%20Tonic%20for%20Year%20I%20(2020-2021)/Lent%20&amp;%20Easter/Easter%20Octave%20(2021).docx#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[2]</a>.<o:p></o:p>

It is very important to remind ourselves just three things
based on today’s reading. First, it is vital to invite Jesus into our lives and
into every situation we find ourselves in. Again, the risen Lord is always
present at the Mass as He promised, cf. Matt
18:20. And again, each of the two main parts of the Mass is as important as
the other. Therefore, both the priests and the congregation must not make light
of any. Meet Jesus daily at the Holy Mass.<o:p></o:p>

Thought for today: There is power in the Holy Mass.<o:p></o:p>

Let us pray: Eucharistic Jesus, help us to
understand and to benefit from every Holy Mass – Amen.<o:p></o:p>

Ps 32:4-5.18-20.22 (R. v. 5);<o:p></o:p>

Verse 10 tells us that
Peter and John returned to their homes after seeing the empty tomb without
seeing the Lord. But Mary stayed back weeping outside the tomb. It was during
this period that she saw two angels inside the tomb and later Jesus Himself
whom at first she thought to be a gardener. When she recognized Him, Jesus said
to Mary, “Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father.
But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your
Father, to my God and your God.”<o:p></o:p>

The story would have been different if Mary had left with
others. It was not easy remaining at the tomb all alone. In like manner, it is
not easy for one to follow a course irrespective of other’s views. However, it
pays. Hence Jesus admonished, “...he who endures to the end will be saved” (Mk 13:13; cf. Matt 10:22; 24:13).<o:p></o:p>

Let us follow Mary’s example and search for what we want
calling on the name of the Lord because “everyone who calls upon the name of
the Lord will be saved” (Rom 10:13).
So, do not stop searching until you find what you are looking for.<o:p></o:p>

Thought for today: Let us continue for God’s salvation will soon
come, cf. Is 56:1.<o:p></o:p>

Let us pray: Risen Lord, grant us all our good
heart desires through the power of your resurrection – Amen.<o:p></o:p>

and great joy to give the apostles the good news when Jesus met them. And He
said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee;
there they will see me.” <o:p></o:p>

On the other hand, when the chief priests heard about Jesus’
resurrection, they met with the elders before bribing the guards with large sum
of money and instructed them thus, “You must say, ‘His disciples came by night
and stole him away while we were asleep.’” The guards were also assured of
their safety should the governor come to hear of it. And this false story is
regrettably still told among the Jews to this day.<o:p></o:p>

The chief priests and their cohorts put up lies just to have
Jesus put to death. Now, they are faced with another reality, the resurrection
of Jesus. We see them in today’s gospel still bent on covering the Truth, cf. Jn 14:6. No wonder Jesus warns, “Truly,
I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter
the kingdom of heaven” (Matt 18:3).<o:p></o:p>

God “desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge
of the truth” (1Tim 2:4). Saint Paul
also wrote, “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God” (Eph 6:17).
No matter how hard a man tries, the word of God cannot be fettered, cf. 2Tim 2:9. And let no one add or subtract
from God’s word, (cf. Prov 30:6). We
must speak the truth to one another, cf. Eph
4:25. Lies only beget lies to the point of stupidity. And whoever lies is
of the father of lies, cf. Jn 8:44.<o:p></o:p>

Homily (Reflection) for Easter Sunday (04th
April, 2021) on the Gospel and the celebration

Acts 10:34.37-43;

Ps 117:1-2.16-17.22-23. (R.v. 24);

Col 3:1-4 or 1Cor 5:6-8;

Jn
20:1-9 or Matt 28:1-10 or Lk 24:1-12.

There is a story of a man who was picked up in a gutter on
Good Friday. He left his house very early in the morning. His wife, children,
and friends found it very difficult to believe that it was the man that they
saw in such a state. Although he was notorious for taking too much alcohol but
all through the period of Lent he was a different man. He did not test alcohol
at all the whole period of Lent. When he regained consciousness they asked him
why he took to drinking again. And he told them that the joy in his heart was
unimaginable when the priest said on Maundy (Holy) Thursday that the forty (40)
days of Lent were over. He went on to tell them that he needed to refill
because his body lacks liquid (alcohol). According to him, his body was badly
dehydrated all the period of Lent that at a point he was thinking if the Lent
would never end.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I_-AViUipEU/YGlvYsunClI/AAAAAAAAGkY/eGxOjzT2l885_cqseYCPWqIq1CRGO16oACLcBGAsYHQ/s174/04.04.2021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="174" data-original-width="143" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I_-AViUipEU/YGlvYsunClI/AAAAAAAAGkY/eGxOjzT2l885_cqseYCPWqIq1CRGO16oACLcBGAsYHQ/s0/04.04.2021.jpg" /></a></div> Mary had gone to the tomb on the
first day of the week may be to meditate on the passion and death of Christ.
When she saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance of the tomb the
gospel reads: “... she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the
one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, ‘They have taken the Lord out of the
tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him’” (Jn 20:2). Mary Magdalene like others thought that the story had
ended. But our salvation story did not end with the suffering and death of
Christ Jesus. Hence, St. Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians writes: <o:p></o:p>

If there is no resurrection of the
dead, then Christ has not been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then
our proclamation has been in vain and your faith has been in vain. If Christ
has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then
those also who have died in Christ have perished. If for this life only we have
hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied (1Cor 15:13-14, 17-19).<o:p></o:p>

For forty days, we were in the period of Lent. All these while,
not even alleluia did come out of our mouths consciously. It is during the
period of Lent that one will come to know that alleluia is not all that common.
But now that the period of Lent is over what is the next thing? The answer to
this depends on the meaning or one’s understanding of Lent. I know that
some might wonder what on earth led us to discuss Lent on Easter day after
having just spent forty (40) days excluding Sundays in it. Easter comes after
Lenten period. And during the period of Lent, many people did a lot of good
deeds – almsgiving, abstaining from vices, devotions, among others. Some even
denied themselves many things that are not sinful just for God.

Every Christian who took part in the Lenten season can be
better seen as a graduate although without any paper-certificate. The period of
Lent is a school, a period of training. In this school just like in every other
form of school, the students gather as much skills as possible for the life
after school. Graduates come out with new skills and in the same vein
Christians must have gathered a lot of skills (virtues) during Lent. We should
not allow any of these virtues to leave otherwise we risk spending forty days
in the wilderness without anything to show for it just like the man we saw in
the introductory part of this homily who waited for the Lent to be over so as
to go back to drinking. Saint Peter warns,

Discipline yourselves, keep alert. Like
a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to
devour. Resist him, steadfast in your faith, for you know that your brothers
and sisters in all the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering. And
after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace... will
himself restore, support, strengthen, and establish you (1Pt 5:8-10).

Christ suffered, died and resurrected for us to benefit as
well as for us to imitate, cf. 1Pt 2:21.
We all are to resurrect cf. Acts 24:15,
but the destination is determined by the quality of lives we live now: “those
who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil,
to the resurrection of judgment” (Jn. 5:29). Do not
celebrate the end of Lent by going back to your old ways of life. We are
to witness to the resurrection of Christ with our lives and perhaps our words
if it is necessary, cf. Acts 1:22.
The struggle is not yet over until it is over. We are still in the battle field
(world).

Bible Reading: 1Cor 15:12-34; Heb 4:1-13; 1Pt 5:6-11.<o:p></o:p>

Thought for today:
Prepare now for your resurrection (cf. Jn.
5:29).

Let us pray: Risen Christ, help us live the life that will lead
us to the resurrection of life and not to judgement – Amen.

Happy Easter to you
all.

We join the Church who awaits at the
Lord’s tomb meditating on Christ’s suffering and death. Easter celebration
begins with a tone of joy. The priest/s and other ministers wear white
vestments. Everyone who takes part in this vigil comes with a candle. The
Easter Vigil is made up of four parts, namely: brief service of light, liturgy
of the word, Baptism and/renewal of Baptismal vows, and liturgy of the Holy
Eucharist.

Before the commencement of the
vigil, every light in the church is put off and a large fire is prepared at a
suitable place outside the church where the first part of the celebration,
service of light, begins. The absence of light in the church signifies that the
Lord (the light of the world) is still lying in the tomb, cf. Jn 8:12; 9:5.

Topic: Do not be alarmed ... (Mk 16:6).
<o:p></o:p>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-siXZzJEjftU/YGgFeuk6_0I/AAAAAAAAGkQ/Mo89SfH_as8mHs7LZhBVeSfNuVa49hxwACLcBGAsYHQ/s228/03.04.2021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="221" data-original-width="228" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-siXZzJEjftU/YGgFeuk6_0I/AAAAAAAAGkQ/Mo89SfH_as8mHs7LZhBVeSfNuVa49hxwACLcBGAsYHQ/s0/03.04.2021.jpg" /></a></div> There is a story of a woman who died
suddenly. Her husband and loved ones put some valuables inside the casket
before the burial as it was common then. And among those who were present for
the burial were some thieves who valued the worth of what were put inside the casket.
After a careful thought, they decided to exhume the body at night to take away
those valuables. Although they succeeded in exhuming the body but the
unexpected happened; when they opened the casket the woman woke up. They ran
away leaving behind even the implements they used in exhuming her. After
sometime the woman decided to go home. On reaching the house, he knocked on the
door. Her husband thought it was a kind of dream but when he heard the knock
again and again, he enquired. The voice he heard looked very familiar. As a
result, he opened the door and behold before him standing the woman that was
buried few hours ago. While trying to escape he pushed her aside and ran for
his dear life.<o:p></o:p>

In Igbo land, there are many
names and sayings that depict how dreadful death is. They include – Onwubiko (pleading
with death), Onwudinjo (death is evil), Onwuchekwa ( pleading with death to wait), onye cheta onwu o mebe nwayoo (the remembrance
of death humbles everyone) and so on. And for our modern-day pastors and
prophets, the easiest way to get attention is by ‘seeing’ death around the
target and claiming to have the power to avert it. Death seems to be the most
dreaded phenomenon in the world. Despite all the breakthroughs made by science,
death remains elusive. The Athenians listened to Paul. But “when they heard of
the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, ‘We will hear you
again about this’ (Acts 17:32).<o:p></o:p>

Today’s gospel tells us how the
women went to the tomb where Jesus was laid with the spices they bought to
anoint him. And as they were on their way, “They had been saying to one
another, ‘Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” (Mk 16:3). This statement shows how
incapacitated the women were before the stone that was used to close the entrance
to the tomb. According to the gospels, it was a great stone, cf. Mk 16:4; Matt 27:60. Yet when they
looked up they saw that the very large stone had already been rolled back, cf. Mk 16:4. The women entered the tomb and
saw a young man who said to them: “Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus
of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there
is the place they laid him” (Mk 16:6).
But unlike the man whose wife came back to life who ran away, he went further:
“But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee;
there you will see him, just as he told you” (Mk 16:7). <o:p></o:p>

Reflect a little at people’s reaction
even that of the Church during the Ebola menace and the present COVID-19
pandemic. It shows us how much we fear death. We are celebrating today Jesus who
rose from the dead. As we have seen, death seems to be the most feared. If the power
of death could not hold Jesus in the tomb, what do you think that is too
difficult for him? Hence, with the angel I tell you “Do not be alarmed....” That
God who rose Jesus from the dead is still God and is ever ready to help his
children. But we must unite with him in death so that we might be united with
him in the resurrection, cf. Rom 6:5.
May we say with Saint Peter: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ! By his great mercy we have been born anew to a living hope through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1Pt 1:3). We must always trust God knowing fully well that nothing
is impossible for him even to raise from the dead, cf. Matt 19:26; Mk 10:27; Lk 1:37; 18:27.<o:p></o:p>

Bible
Reading: Hag 2:1-9; Jer 46:27-28; Matt 28:16-20; 1Cor 15:
1-58. <o:p></o:p>

Silent Prayer: What problem do you consider too
difficult for Christ who died for us and is risen?

Let
us pray: God grant us the grace to know Christ who rose from the dead and the
power of his resurrection (cf. Phil 3:10)
– Amen.<o:p></o:p>
