Friends of the Rosary,From November 1st to the 8th, we celebrate the Octave of the Faithful Departed by praying for the Holy Souls in Purgatory and acknowledging that they, too, are praying for us.The majority of people who die are not saints: they might be God's friends as they are not against the Lord, but at the same time are not fully initiated into the divine life, as Bishop Barron explains. Therefore, after death, they will undergo a period of purification and preparation for eternal life.The effect of sin that endures in them will be burned away in God's time. This way, they will be prepared to receive the full embrace of the divine love.The doctrine of purgatory is deeply hopeful. The holy souls are very close to us, and we to them. They relate to us through prayer, and we to them, as well. We all glorify our Lord.Today, November 3, we celebrate the feast day of St. Martin de Porres.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Hey everyone, Alex here (yes the real me if you're reading this) The weeks are getting crazier, but what OpenAI pulled this week, with a whole new social media app attached to their latest AI breakthroughs is definitely breathtaking! Sora2 released and instantly became a viral sensation, shooting to the top 3 free iOS spot on AppStore, with millions of videos watched, and remixed. On weeks like these, even huge releases like Claude 4.5 are taking the backseat, but we still covered them! For listeners of the pod, the second half of the show was very visual heavy, so it may be worth it watching the YT video attached in a comment if you want to fully experience the Sora revolution with us! (and if you want a SORA invite but don't have one yet, more on that below) ThursdAI - if you find this valuable, please support us by subscribing! Sora 2 - the AI video model that signifies a new era of social mediaLook, you've probably already heard about the SORA-2 release, but in case you haven't, OpenAI released a whole new model, but attached it to a new, AI powered social media experiment in the form of a very addictive TikTok style feed. Besides being hyper-realistic, and producing sounds and true to source voice-overs, Sora2 asks you to create your own “Cameo” by taking a quick video, and then allows you to be featured in your own (and your friends) videos. This makes a significant break from the previously “slop” based meta Vibes, becuase, well, everyone loves seeing themselves as the stars of the show! Cameos are a stroke of genius, and what's more, one can allow everyone to use their Cameo, which is what Sam Altman did at launch, making everyone Cameo him, and turning him, almost instantly into one of the most meme-able (and approachable) people on the planet! Sam sharing away his likeness like this for the sake of the app achieved a few things, it added trust in the safety features, made it instantly viral and showed folks they shouldn't be afraid of adding their own likeness. Vibes based feed and remixingSora 2 is also unique in that, it's the first social media with UGC (user generated content) where content can ONLY be generated, and all SORA content is created within the app. It's not possible to upload pictures that have people to create the posts, and you can only create posts with other folks if you have access to their Cameos, or by Remixing existing creations. Remixing is also a way to let users “participate” in the creation process, by adding their own twist and vibes! Speaking of Vibes, while the SORA app has an algorithmic For You page, they have a completely novel and new way to interact with the algorithm, by using their Pick a Mood feature, where you can describe which type of content you want to see, or not see, with natural language! I believe that this feature will come to all social media platforms later, as it's such a game changer. Want only content in a specific language? or content that doesn't have Sam Altman in it? Just ask! Content that makes you feel goodThe most interesting thing is about the type of content is, there's no sexualisation (because all content is moderated by OpenAI strong filters), and no gore etc. OpenAI has clearly been thinking about teenagers and have added parent controls, things like being able to turn of the For You page completely etc to the mix. Additionally, SORA seems to be a very funny model, and I mean this literally. You can ask the video generation for a joke and you'll often get a funny one. The scene setup, the dialogue, the things it does even unprompted are genuinely entertaining. AI + Product = Profit? OpenAI shows that they are one of the worlds best product labs in the world, not just a foundational AI lab. Most AI advancements are tied to products, and in this case, the whole experience is so polished, it's hard to accept that it's a brand new app from a company that didn't do social before. There's very little buggy behavior, videos are loaded up quick, there's even DMs! I'm thoroughly impressed and am immersing myself in the SORA sphere. Please give me a follow there and feel free to use my Cameo by tagging @altryne in there. I love seeing how folks have used my Cameo, it makes me laugh

La course à la souveraineté des données dans le monde est officiellement déclarée.Parmi les acteurs qui ont pris les rênes du Cloud mondial, une (trop) grande majorité est américaine. Amazon, Google et Microsoft en tête.En Europe, un seul acteur semble capable de les concurrencer et d'assurer notre souveraineté : OVH Cloud.À sa tête, un homme discret mais immensément brillant, qui n'accorde que très rarement sa parole aux médias. Un échange unique dans GDIY.Octave Klaba a grandi au cœur de la Pologne communiste des années 70. Soupçonnée et espionnée par le régime, sa famille finit par fuir le pays pour revenir s'installer en France.Après un lycée et un parcours en école d'ingénieur, Octave sens très vite qu'il ne correspond pas au fonctionnement des entreprises classiques. Il ne reste que 3 semaines chez Alcatel avant de poser sa démission.Il lance alors OVH à 19 ans sous format associatif et se prend d'une véritable obsession pour résoudre les problèmes de ses clients.Aujourd'hui, OVH est leader incontesté du Cloud en Europe : 3000 collaborateurs, 40 datacenters, et près d'un milliard de chiffres d'affaires en 2024.Octave n'a qu'une mission : prouver que la dépendance vis-à-vis des Big Techs américaines n'est pas insoluble et qu'un autre modèle plus libre, plus souverain est possible.Dans cet échange exceptionnel, il livre les dessous de cette guerre pour la souveraineté technologique dans laquelle il est l'un des seuls à défendre les intérêts européens et à se hisser à la hauteur des géants Américains.TIMELINE:00:00:00 : grandir au cœur de la Pologne communiste00:17:53 : le clan Klaba, premier atout d'OVH00:25:21 : “c'est quand on est face à un mur avec un pistolet sur la tempe qu'on a les meilleures idées”00:32:10 : abandonner tous les projets qui ne peuvent pas faire 1 million par mois sous 3 ans00:41:07 : s'imposer comme une référence, du simple stockage de données au quantique00:55:35 : du lancement de l'entreprise jusqu'au premier salaire 18 mois plus tard01:07:13 : concurrencer Microsoft, Amazon et Google en créant une confiance ultra-profonde avec les clients01:19:14 : l'incendie ravageur mais aussi révélateur du datacenter de Strasbourg01:28:23 : les services secrets, grands gagnants de la guerre des datas01:38:02 : “le vrai enjeu maintenant c'est plus la souveraineté des données, c'est la souveraineté technologique”01:47:07 : la domination purement commerciale des géants Américains01:56:56 : le marché colossal sur lequel OVH est assis02:08:17 : pourquoi les entreprises doivent utiliser l'IA pour autre chose que faire des économies02:15:04 : le rôle d'OVH dans la course à l'IA02:22:16 : comment s'affranchir des mastodontes US et trouver des alternatives européennes02:31:57 : construire des éoliennes pour avoir sa propre énergie02:40:12 : pourquoi dépenser plusieurs millions pour un ordinateur quantiqueLes anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #475 - VO - Shane Parrish - Farnam Street - Clear Thinking: The Decision-Making Expert#401 - David Baverez - Essayiste, économiste - Sommes-nous entrés en économie de guerre ?#450 - Karim Beguir - InstaDeep - L'IA Générale ?

C'est l'une des plus célèbres histoires d'amour tragiques de l'Antiquité : celle de Cléopâtre VII, reine d'Égypte, et de Marc Antoine, général et homme fort de Rome.Mais derrière la légende romantique, leur alliance fut aussi un choix politique, qui finit par précipiter leur perte. Voici pourquoi.Tout commence après l'assassinat de Jules César, en 44 av. J.-C.Marc Antoine, son fidèle lieutenant, hérite d'une partie du pouvoir à Rome. Il forme avec Octave (le futur Auguste) et Lépide le Second Triumvirat pour gouverner la République en crise.Envoyé en mission en Orient, Marc Antoine rencontre Cléopâtre en 41 av. J.-C. à Tarse. La reine d'Égypte, fine stratège, comprend qu'elle peut faire de cette liaison un atout politique. Antoine, fasciné par son charisme et sa richesse, tombe amoureux. Très vite, leur relation devient autant personnelle que politique.Cléopâtre lui offre un soutien financier et militaire. En échange, Antoine lui cède des territoires en Orient. Ils ont ensemble des enfants, et Antoine passe de plus en plus de temps à Alexandrie, ce qui irrite profondément les Romains.Pourquoi cela conduit-il à leur chute ?Le problème, c'est que cette alliance apparaît à Rome comme une trahison des intérêts romains.Octave, rival d'Antoine, s'en sert habilement dans sa propagande : il accuse Marc Antoine d'être sous l'emprise de Cléopâtre, de vouloir déplacer le centre de pouvoir à Alexandrie, et même de préparer une guerre contre Rome.Le coup de théâtre a lieu en 32 av. J.-C. : Antoine divorce de sa femme romaine, Octavie (sœur d'Octave), pour vivre pleinement avec Cléopâtre. C'est le prétexte qu'attendait Octave pour déclarer la guerre... non pas à Antoine, mais à Cléopâtre elle-même. C'est donc une guerre entre Rome et l'Égypte qui se prépare.Le conflit culmine en 31 av. J.-C. avec la célèbre bataille navale d'Actium. La flotte romano-égyptienne, commandée par Antoine et Cléopâtre, est battue par celle d'Octave.Fuyant vers l'Égypte, les deux amants tentent de se ressaisir, mais la cause est perdue.En 30 av. J.-C., Octave envahit Alexandrie. Antoine se suicide, croyant Cléopâtre morte. Peu après, Cléopâtre, refusant d'être exhibée en triomphe à Rome, met fin à ses jours, selon la tradition, en se faisant mordre par un aspic.Leur chute signe la fin de l'indépendance de l'Égypte, qui devient province romaine. Et Octave, vainqueur, pose les fondations de l'Empire romain.Ainsi, ce qui était au départ une alliance stratégique et une passion sincère est devenu le levier qu'Octave utilisa pour abattre ses rivaux et refonder Rome.

The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them.

Read OnlineWhen Jesus had risen, early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. Mark 16:9The first person recorded in Scripture to whom Jesus appeared was Mary Magdalene. Notably, she was the one out of whom Jesus cast seven demons. Being possessed by seven demons has traditionally been understood to mean that she was completely possessed. Prior to Jesus freeing her, satan and His demons had completely taken over her will by her free submission to evil. And yet, it was to her, a woman with such a horrible past, that Jesus chose to give the honor of His first appearance. What an amazing fact!Everyone has a past. Some have been grave sinners. Others, like Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, have never committed a mortal sin. Obviously, the beauty of a soul like Saint Thérèse is deeply admirable, and such a soul will be greatly rewarded in Heaven. But what about the grave sinner? What about those like Mary Magdalene who have lived horribly sinful lives? What does our Lord think about them?The fact that Mary Magdalene is the first person recorded in Scripture to have seen the risen Lord should tell us much about how Jesus views a person who has greatly struggled with serious sin but has later overcome that sin and turned wholeheartedly to our Lord. Sin is demoralizing. When unrepented, it leaves a loss of dignity and integrity. However, even after one has repented, some people will continue to struggle with unhealthy guilt and shame. And for some, these struggles can become a weapon by which the evil one tries to discourage them from feeling worthy to serve our Lord with zeal and passion.But the truth in the mind of God is that repentant sinners are true jewels and beautiful in the eyes of our Lord. They are worthy of the greatest honors. God does not dwell on our past sin. Instead, our past sin, when it has been repented of and forgiven, will be an eternal sign of the love and mercy of God.How do you deal with your past sin? First, have you completely acknowledged it, repented of it and sought forgiveness from our Lord? If so, does it still haunt you? Does the evil one still try to remind you of your past and strip away your hope in the mercy of God? Reflect, today, upon the most grievous of your past sins. If you haven't yet confessed them, then do so as soon as you can. If you have, try to see your soul through the eyes of God. God does not see your past sins with anger and disgust. Rather, He sees only the depth of your conversion, sorrow and repentance. And, to Him, this is holy and beautiful. Ponder the beauty of your repentant heart and know that, as you do, you will be looking at your own heart through the eyes of God.My most merciful God, You love the sinner and hate the sin. You love me in ways that are beyond my understanding. Help me to understand how deeply You love my heart when I completely repent. And help me to see my heart only through Your eyes. I thank You for Your love and mercy, dear Lord. Help me to love You all the more.

The St. Paul Center's daily scripture reflections from the Mass for Thursday in the Octave of Easter by Ms. Joan Watson. Easter Thursday First Reading: Acts 3: 11-26 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 8: 2ab and 5, 6-7, 8-9 Alleluia: Psalms 118: 24 Gospel: Luke 24: 35-48   Learn more about the Mass at www.stpaulcenter.com

Read OnlineJesus said to them, “Come, have breakfast.” And none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they realized it was the Lord. Jesus came over and took the bread and gave it to them, and in like manner the fish. This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to his disciples after being raised from the dead. John 21:12–14The appearances of Jesus after His Resurrection were cloaked in mystery. Not a mystery of confusion, but a mystery of profound depth and awe. On this, the third time Jesus appeared to His disciples, Jesus first spoke to them from the shore after they had been fishing all night without catching anything. He told them to try again and to throw the net over the right side of the boat. They did so without even realizing that it was Jesus Who was speaking to them. But upon catching more than they could handle, they realized it was the Lord.The “mystery” present in this resurrection appearance has many aspects. Why did the disciples not recognize Jesus at first? Why did Jesus instruct them to throw the net over the right side of the boat? Why was Jesus made known through this catch of one hundred and fifty-three large fish? Why was Jesus cooking breakfast for the disciples on the shore? And why did John record that “none of the disciples dared to ask him, ‘Who are you?'” Though all of these mysteries have answers that have been offered over the centuries by the saints and great Scripture commentators, it's useful to also simply ponder the fact that Jesus' resurrection appearances were, indeed, cloaked in mystery.In a mystery novel, the reader is given various vague clues to help them try to figure out the mystery and solve it. The clues are vague intentionally so as to make the solving more enjoyable and challenging. However, when it comes to a “mystery of faith,” such as the mystery of faith surrounding Jesus' resurrection appearances, the mystery is of an entirely different sort. In these cases, the mystery is one of depth and breadth and is something that has the potential to draw us deeper and deeper into the infinite nature of God and His saving action.Take, for example, this one line quoted above: “And none of the disciples dared to ask him, ‘Who are you?' because they realized it was the Lord.” It appears that the disciples gathered around Jesus as He was preparing breakfast on the shore and sat there in awe of Him. Their silent awe of Him in this appearance reveals that words are not sufficient. Normally, when you see someone whom you are happy to see, you greet them and start talking, asking them how they are, etc. But here, the disciples remained in this holy awe, listening to Him, receiving this meal and pondering the mystery of His resurrected presence.Reflect, today, upon the ways that our Lord comes to you. It's easy to miss Him since His ongoing presence in our lives is also mysterious. Imagine if the disciples would have ignored Jesus' call to “Cast the net over the right side of the boat…” If they would have ignored that command, they may have never come to realize it was the Lord. Reflect upon the ways that our Lord speaks to you. Do you respond? Do you recognize Him? Do you allow yourself to be drawn into this holy awe of His divine presence? Follow the example of the disciples and be on the lookout for the ongoing presence of our Lord all around you.My divine Lord, You are constantly present to me, day and night, and yet I so often fail to perceive You and adore You. Help me to become more aware of Your presence in my life. As I do, help me to enter more deeply into these holy mysteries with love, devotion and awe. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: James Tissot, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Read OnlineThen he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. And he said to them, “Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.” Luke 24:45–48Jesus once again appears to a group of His disciples, and He once again gets straight to the point. He “opened their minds” so that they would understand all that the Scriptures revealed about Him. He helped them to see that His death and Resurrection were fulfillments of the teachings of Moses and the prophets. And then Jesus says something new: “You are witnesses of these things.” As we saw in yesterday's Gospel, it's clear that the disciples did not yet understand why Jesus had to die and then rise again. They were still in shock and traumatized by these events. Therefore, Jesus had to carefully explain to His disciples the meaning of what had just taken place. They needed to understand this on a level that they couldn't comprehend by themselves. They needed Jesus' clear and detailed explanation as well as a special grace by which their minds would be opened to an understanding of these profound mysteries of faith.We are no different than these disciples. It's easy to believe in Jesus for insufficient reasons which only result in superficial faith. Some believe simply because that's what they were taught when they were young. Some believe because it makes them feel better to believe. Some believe because they don't know of anything better to believe. But then there are those who believe for the right reason. Like the disciples in this resurrection appearance, they have listened to Jesus speak clearly and in detail to them, such as through their study of Scripture, the Catechism, or other holy sources, and then they were given a special grace from God that “opened their minds” to an understanding that goes far beyond human rational abilities alone. Are you one of those people?If you are, then you have another duty. Not only must you continue to internalize these truths, allowing them to deepen and change your own life completely and totally, but you must also become a “witness” to these things. When you grow in an authentic knowledge of the faith revealed by our Lord, you must also share it with others. Real faith must be shared! Reflect, today, upon this powerful resurrection appearance. As you do, ponder whether or not you have allowed our Lord to speak to you in the same way that He did to these disciples, and whether or not you have truly internalized all that He has spoken to you and explained to you. If you are among this grouping of people, reflect also upon your duty to be a witness of these truths to others.  Jesus wants to appear in His resurrected form to many others, but He especially does this, today, through the mediation of His faithful followers who are now sent forth to be witnesses to Christ and His glorious Resurrection. My risen Jesus, You gave Your disciples a glorious gift when You opened their minds to Your holy Truth and taught them many things. Please open my mind also, dear Lord, so that I will comprehend the deep and profound mysteries of faith. Help me to understand Who You are, why You had to die, and how to share in the new life of Your Resurrection. Please also use me as Your witness so that many will come to know You and share in the new life won by Your Resurrection. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Luca Signorelli, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Read OnlineAnd it happened that, while he was with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight. Then they said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us on the way and opened the Scriptures to us?” Luke 24:30–31Two of Jesus' disciples had been discussing the events of the past week as they walked the seven-mile journey along the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus. They previously had hoped that Jesus was the one Who would redeem Israel—but then He was killed. And three days later, there were rumors of His Resurrection, which only left them confused. As they journeyed, Jesus appeared to the two disciples, but they did not recognize Him at first. His identity was hidden from their eyes. Jesus listened to them and expressed sorrow at their lack of understanding, so He explained to them the teachings of Moses and the prophets and that the Messiah needed to suffer, die and rise on the third day. As Jesus spoke, the disciples began to understand, and their hearts burned within them. Finally, in the gift of the Holy Eucharist, in the breaking of the Bread, their eyes were opened to see that it was Jesus with them.Why did Jesus hide His risen presence from these disciples? It appears that He did so because they lacked faith. They said, “...we were hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel.”  But the Crucifixion was too much for them to handle. They could not comprehend why the Redeemer had to suffer as Jesus did, so they began to doubt.Too often we are like these disciples who are confused about matters of faith and who struggle with doubts. For that reason, we must see ourselves in the persons of these disciples as they walked the road to Emmaus. Jesus offered these disciples a wonderful gift of mercy by helping them to understand His saving act. He explained to them all that was taught in Scripture regarding Him. And as these disciples listened to Jesus teach them, they slowly came to believe. We, too, must allow Jesus to teach us about the transforming power of His death and Resurrection. We must listen attentively and allow our hearts to burn within us as we listen to His holy Word. Only in this way will we come to the level of faith we need to more fully comprehend and accept the transforming power of the Paschal Mystery. Reflect, today, upon these disciples and their need to reflect upon the Word of God so as to understand, believe and have their eyes opened. Know that you need this same grace. You need to spend time with our Lord, immersed in His Word, listening to His voice, so that you will come to believe more fully. Allow the message of Jesus' death and Resurrection to burn within you so that you, too, will come to believe. My resurrected Lord, You appeared to these disciples who lacked faith and understanding and gave them the gift of Your holy teaching. Teach me, dear Lord, all that I must come to understand and know about You, Your death, Resurrection and glorious gift of new life. May Your Word burn within me and lead me to a transformation of my life.

The St. Paul Center's daily scripture reflections from the Mass for Monday in the Octave of Easter by Dr. Scott Hahn. Easter Monday First Reading: Acts 2: 14, 22-33 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 16: 1-2a and 5, 7-8, 9-10, 11 Alleluia: Psalms 118: 24 Gospel: Matthew 28: 8-15   Learn more about the Mass at www.stpaulcenter.com

Read OnlineJesus said to her, “Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am going to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'” John 20:17Mary of Magdala was one of the first persons to whom Jesus appeared. She was deeply devoted to Him, especially because of the great mercy He offered her when He forgave her manifest sins and expelled seven demons from her. After He had done that, Mary became a devout follower and was one of the few who remained faithful to Him, even as He hung upon the Cross.On the first day of the week, the Sunday after the Crucifixion, Mary came to the tomb to anoint Jesus' body in accord with Jewish custom. But when she arrived, Jesus' body was gone. And when Jesus appeared to her as she was weeping, she didn't immediately recognize Him, for He had His new glorified body. But when Jesus spoke her name, Mary, she recognized Him. But rather than embracing her, Jesus said, “Stop holding on to me…” Why would Jesus say this?Even though Mary's attachment and devotion to Jesus was beautiful and holy, it wasn't yet perfected. She wanted her Lord Whom she had come to know and followed. She wanted her former relationship with Jesus to be returned to her. But for this reason, Jesus said, “Stop holding on to me…” Jesus wanted much more. He was telling her that her relationship with Him was soon to change for the better. No longer would He simply be her earthly companion; instead, He would soon live within her, dwell within her very heart, become one with her, and be her Bridegroom for eternity. But this could only happen once Jesus ascended to the Father in Heaven to complete His divine mission of salvation.At times, we also seek favors from our Lord that are purely temporal. Though we do need to trust Him for “our daily bread,” meaning, for all the basic necessities of life, we must realize that the gifts God wants to give us far surpass anything in this world. The supernatural gift of grace, the gift of the Indwelling of the Most Holy Trinity, the gift of oneness with our Lord is what we are made for and is the end goal and desire of our Lord.Reflect, today, upon these words Jesus spoke to Mary: “Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father.” But do so with the knowledge that, now, Jesus has indeed ascended to the Father. Therefore, He now invites us all to cling to Him as He reigns in Heaven. Ponder the deep desire in the heart of our Lord that you cling to Him with every fiber of your being. He wants to dwell within you, to become one with you and to transform you in every way. This holy union is now being enjoyed for all eternity by Saint Mary of Magdala, and this same gift is being offered to you. Cling to Him and never let go, for this will be your eternal joy.My risen and ascended Lord, You now reign in Heaven in perfect glory and splendor. Draw me into Your glorious life and invite me to cling to You with all my heart. I invite You, dear Lord, to come and make Your dwelling within me so that I can hold on to You forevermore. Jesus, I trust in You.Tretyakov Gallery, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Read OnlineThe 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.” Matthew 28:12–14The Lord of all rose from the grave, conquering sin and death, making it possible for us all to share in His glorious Resurrection! Death had lost. Satan had lost. The corrupt religious leaders had lost. And all those who believed in Jesus now had their eternal hope renewed. Sadly, though, what was the greatest victory ever known for humanity, a victory that opened the doors to eternal glory for all who believe, could not be accepted by the chief priests and elders of the people. They saw to His death, and, now that He had risen, they scrambled to do all they could to hide that truth.Pride is hard to overcome. When a person professes they are right, when in fact they are wrong, and when they are then confronted with their error, the sin of pride will inevitably tempt them to further sin. This is what we see today in this passage from our Gospel. The chief priests and elders were informed by the soldiers that when the women came to the tomb early in the morning, there was a great earthquake, and they saw an angel of the Lord descend from Heaven, roll back the stone, and sit on it. When they saw this, “The guards were shaken with fear of him and became like dead men” (Matthew 28:4). And after they heard the angel tell the women that Jesus had risen, the guards went off to tell the chief priests and elders.After all the miracles and powerful preaching of Jesus, you would think that the chief priests and elders would have believed. But they didn't. And then, after hearing the testimony of these soldiers, you would think they would have fallen on their knees, repented of their hardness of hearts, and come to believe. But they didn't. They doubled down in their sin and added sin upon sin.Some forms of sin can more easily be admitted, especially sins of weakness. When one is weak and falls, it may not be always easy to overcome that sin in the future, but it is easier to acknowledge it as sin when it is caused by human weakness. But a sin of weakness is much different than a sin of obstinate pride. Obstinate pride is not only hard to overcome, it's hard to admit. It's hard to admit our sin when it is based on our obstinacy and pride. As a result, this type of sin often leads to other sins such as ongoing deception, manipulation and anger. This is illustrated by these chief priests and elders. But if you can humble yourself and admit your sin when it comes from your pride, that humility can have a powerful and transformative effect upon your life.Reflect, today, upon these chief priests and elders of the people. Try to ponder their hardness of heart and the sad situation they found themselves in as they attempted to cover up their error and sin. Resolve never to fall into this form of sin yourself. However, if this is a struggle for you, seek humility so that you can be freed of this heavy burden by the grace of the Resurrection of our Lord.My resurrected Lord, You conquered sin and death and brought forth new life for all who believe in You. Give me the grace, dear Jesus, to never allow my sin of pride to keep me from being open to the glorious and transforming action You desire to do in my life. Please give me the gift of humility so that I may always turn from my sin and turn to You.
