Gospel - Mt 28:8-15

Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went away quickly from the tomb,
fearful yet overjoyed,
and ran to announce the news to his disciples.

And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them.
They approached, embraced his feet, and did him homage. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee,
and there they will see me.”

While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had happened.

The chief priests assembled with the elders and took counsel; then they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole him while we were asleep.’

And if this gets to the ears of the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.”

The soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. This story has circulated among the Jews to the present day.

Reflection 

The guards were bribed by chief priests to lie about Jesus' body being stolen. Similar deception occurs in society, causing harm to relationships. Stick to the truth as Jesus instructed, "Do not be afraid." 

So whatever the situation is, do not be afraid. We are not to worry about the trouble that we may face. If we are with Jesus, we are with the spirit of God, not of the world. Our faith leads us to righteousness and salvation. Those with Jesus will see Him.

For Christ is the end of the law, that everyone who has faith may be justified. (Romans 10:4)

By believing from the heart, you are made righteous; by confessing with your lips, you are saved. (Romans 10:10)

Jesus told the women: "Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”

We are His brothers and sisters that Jesus mentioned. If we are with Him in truth, in our hearts and lips, we will see Him.

Today is Easter Monday. We had pronounced our belief that Christ has risen, that He is the Son of God, and that He sits at the right hand of the Father.

And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High: for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his path,
to let his people know their salvation,
so that their sins may be forgiven.

It's not too late to begin praying this beautiful prayer, in anticipation of Christmas.🌟 It is traditionally prayed 15 times each day from November 30, St Andrew's feast day, until Christmas, for a special intention.🙏 Far from being empty repetition, praying this way sinks the words of adoration and petition deeper into the soul each time, opening our hearts to the coming of the infant Saviour.❤

First Sunday of Advent: Dec 3, 2023

Lord, I thank You for the graces that You have given me each day of my life. There are days that are more difficult, but because Your Spirit dwells in me, You give me the strength and power to handle them. I thank You not only for the better days, but more so for the bad days because that is when I can truly feel Your presence in me. And I know that You teach me a lesson and grant me a virtue on every single thing that happens in my life, whether by hearing, feeling or seeing that You allow me to experience in my life.
I pray that this would be the year that my heart is most prepared to celebrate Your nativity.

Is 63:17a
Why do you let us wander, O LORD, from your ways,
and harden our hearts so that we fear you not?

Is 64:3b
No ear has ever heard, no eye ever seen, any God but you
doing such deeds for those who wait for him.

Is 63:4
Would that you might meet us doing right,
that we were mindful of you in our ways!

1 Cor 1:5-9
…in him you were enriched in every way,
with all discourse and all knowledge,
as the testimony to Christ was confirmed among you,
so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift
as you wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He will keep you firm to the end,
irreproachable on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God is faithful.

Mk 13:33-35
Be watchful! Be alert!
You do not know when the lord of the house is coming,
whether in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning.

Are you ready for Christmas?

Let us pray for Pope Francis.

This is not the first time that dubious cardinals have questioned the pope, but it is the first time that Francis published his responses. Perhaps he just wanted to clear the air, suggests columnist Michael Sean Winters.

How marvelous the power of the cross; how great beyond all telling the glory of the passion: here is the judgement-seat of the Lord, the condemnation of the world, the supremacy of Christ crucified.

I ask for 5 minutes of your precious time every day on my YouTube channel in praying the Novena for Impossible Requests, also known as the Walk of the Incarnation Novena.

This is a very powerful prayer for me. I hope you will also find hope and strength in your life by praying this novena.

Most powerful when prayed from the feast of the Annunciation, March 25, through the Nativity of Jesus, December 25.
