Here we should learn the wisdom from God through the church of the Lord Jesus Christ by Apostle Paul, of what we should be reminded of every day. That is, as God raised Jesus from the dead, so also all that shall receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost shall be raised by God and shall be in eternity with our Risen Lord and our God that chose us.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the February 18th, 2026 episode of the Daily Radio Bible! On today's journey, Hunter invites listeners to gather around the "fires of His presence" as we continue our daily exploration of the Scriptures. We find ourselves in Numbers chapters 3 and 4, where the unique roles of the Levites are highlighted and God's heart for worship and sacred service is revealed. The reading then moves to Acts 25, where we witness Paul boldly defend his faith before Roman and Jewish leaders, sparking profound questions about the difference between a dead religion and a living relationship with Christ. As you listen, you'll be encouraged to reflect—does faith make sense if it's just about rules and history, or is it only truly understood when we encounter the living Christ? Hunter offers prayers for God's guidance and peace over your day, gently reminding us that we are deeply known and loved. As winter gives way to brighter days and the season of Lent draws near, today's episode is an invitation to take every step with hope, prayer, and a heart open to God's transforming love. So grab a warm drink, maybe take a walk if you can, and join this global community in Scripture, prayer, and gratitude—always remembering, as Hunter beautifully says, that you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: It makes no sense. That's what Felix, the Roman official, thought as Paul stood before him on trial. The matter seemed confusing—"something about their religion and a dead man named Jesus who Paul insists is alive." Why would someone risk everything, suffer, even face death, for what looks like just a dead religion? It's not logical—unless you've met the Living Christ. Paul, too, once thought this Jesus movement made no sense. In fact, he did more than doubt; he saw it as a threat and fought to destroy it. But all that changed on the Damascus Road, when Paul encountered Jesus himself—alive, risen. His life was turned upside down, and everything that once seemed foolish suddenly became the very logic of his existence. It's the same for us. Unless we encounter the Risen Christ, faith can seem confusing and pointless, especially when life feels dark or when the world leads us into suffering or confusion. But when we meet the One who has conquered death, who knows us and loves us, it all begins to make sense. Life's suffering and confusion find meaning in Him. The invitation today is to stop hiding, to stop running, and simply be present with this Living Christ. You are known and loved. As you sit honestly before Him, let Him reveal His heart to you. Only then—when we open ourselves to truly know Him—do things begin to make sense. We see that life isn't about following a dead man, but about living in relationship with the Risen Lord. And when that happens, even the storms and sufferings of life, though still painful, become a part of a greater story—His story. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's a prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

This morning, we will conclude our sermon series, Who Do You Say I Am?, with a message drawn from Matthew 16:13–20 entitled “The Messiah.” Throughout the season of Epiphany, we have encountered Christ as the Word Made Flesh, the Image of God, Teacher and Healer, Crucified One, and Risen Lord, and now we return to Jesus' own question to his disciples. Sermon on Matthew 16:13-20, delivered by the Reverend David J. Powers on February 8th, 2026.

How did Paul live for the Crucified and Risen Lord?Why should we understand ourselves as held together and constrained by the love of Christ?Living For the Crucified and Risen Lord | 2 Corinthians 5:1-16 | Paul's Second Letter to the CorinthiansOutline | ConversationFor we know that if our earthly house, the tent we live in, is dismantled, we have a building from God, a house not built by human hands, that is eternal in the heavens. For in this earthly house we groan, because we desire to put on our heavenly dwelling, if indeed, after we have put on our heavenly house, we will not be found naked. For we groan while we are in this tent, since we are weighed down, because we do not want to be unclothed, but clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.Now the one who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave us the Spirit as a down payment. Therefore we are always full of courage, and we know that as long as we are alive here on earth we are absent from the Lord – for we live by faith, not by sight. Thus we are full of courage and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So then whether we are alive or away, we make it our ambition to please him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be paid back according to what he has done while in the body, whether good or evil.Therefore, because we know the fear of the Lord, we try to persuade people, but we are well known to God, and I hope we are well known to your consciences too. We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to be proud of us, so that you may be able to answer those who take pride in outward appearance and not in what is in the heart. For if we are out of our minds, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you. For the love of Christ controls us, since we have concluded this, that Christ died for all; therefore all have died. And he died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised. So then from now on we acknowledge no one from an outward human point of view. Even though we have known Christ from such a human point of view, now we do not know him in that way any longer (2 Corinthians 5:1-16).

What was an apostle? Do apostles still exist? Why does the ascension of Jesus matter? In this episode, Emma Dotter unpacks the definition, role, and qualifications of an apostle and why Judas needed to be replaced. Then, Watermark's Resident Theologian, Garrett Wikle, joins to explain the doctrine of the ascension, how it shapes our understanding of the rest of Scripture, and why it's significant forfollowers of Jesus today.   ADDITIONAL VERSES MENTIONED:  Ephesians 2:20; Acts 2:43; 1 Corinthians 9:1; Luke 24:50-53, 49; Matthew 26; 28; Daniel 7; 1 Corinthians 15:24-25; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Ephesians 1:20; 2:6; 4:8-11; Philippians 2:5-11; Colossians 3:1-4; Hebrews; 1 Peter 3:21-22; Revelation 1; 4-5  RESOURCES FOR FURTHER STUDY:  Acts of the Risen Lord: https://a.co/d/bUChMSg  The Bible Project: https://bibleproject.com/videos/acts-1-12/ GotQuestions: https://www.gotquestions.org/apostleship.html   RELATED JOIN THE JOURNEY EPISODES:  - S4:263 – Introduction to the book of Acts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/join-the-journey/id1600151923?i=1000735019898  - S1:190 – How do I see the Spirit working in my life? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/join-the-journey/id1600151923?i=1000580392361   WHAT IS JOIN THE JOURNEY?  Join The Journey is a realistic daily Bible reading plan that helps followers of Jesus at Watermark Community Church and beyond enjoy abiding in Jesus together.  Daily Bible lessons for adults: https://www.jointhejourney.com  Daily Bible lessons for parents and families: https://www.jointhejourney.com/jr/7957-what-is-real Weekly Bible podcast for kids: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/join-the-journey-junior/id1660089898   Contact the Join The Journey Team: JoinTheJourney@watermark.org

Meditation from the RC Women's Retreat in MN.

In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl continues the series The King Has Come with a raw and life-giving exploration of the second great gift Jesus brings: peace.Turning to the familiar yet profound scene in Luke 2:8–20, Pastor Karl invites us into the midnight terror of ordinary shepherds—suddenly confronted by the blinding glory of God—and shows how the very first words from heaven that night were not “Merry Christmas,” but “Fear not.” That first Christmas did not begin with sentimental calm; it began with paralyzing, mega-fear. And right there, in the middle of stacked-on-stacked fear, the angel announced good news of great joy: a Savior has been born who is Christ the Lord, the Prince of Peace.With pastoral tenderness and unflinching honesty, Pastor Karl unmasks fear as the mortal enemy of peace—how it magnifies threats, shrinks our view of God, and paints our future in colors darker than God ever intended. Yet the gospel is stronger: peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of a Person. Peace is not something Jesus gives; peace is who Jesus is—and He gives Himself.Through the shepherds' journey from terror to testimony, we're given clear, scriptural paths out of fear and into the unshakable peace of Christ: speaking God's truth over fear's lies, refusing to agree with the spirit of fear, drawing near to Jesus through spiritual disciplines, and taking bold steps of obedience that move us against comfort and toward surrender.This is a word for everyone whose heart has been ruled by anxiety, worst-case scenarios, or the quiet fears that steal joy—especially in this season. A tender yet urgent call to stop trusting the unknown future to our own control and start trusting it to the known God who entered our fear as a baby in a manger.Because the King has come, fear does not get the final word. Peace does. And when the Prince of Peace takes over a life, what spills out is no longer fear—but praise, testimony, and unshakable confidence in the goodness of God.Essential listening for anyone who longs to trade fear for the peace that passes all understanding this Christmas.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Did Jesus appear far more after the Resurrection than most Catholics have ever learned? In this powerful episode, we sit down with Michael Lichens, who wrote the introduction, to dive into the astonishing and deeply moving accounts of Christ appearing throughout history — not only in Scripture, but in documented apparitions to saints, mystics, and ordinary people.Drawing from the incredible new book published by Sophia Institute Press, World of Jesus' Apparitions by Wincenty Laszewski, we uncover apparitions of the Risen Lord you were never taught in CCD — from early Christianity all the way to modern times.

This week Greg, Emily, and Rachel discuss the people who saw Jesus after his resurrection.Transcript:https://open.substack.com/pub/haltingtowardzion/p/the-witnesses-of-the-risen-lord?r=1mbq24&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Please hear our prayers, enjoy our songs, and teach us through Your Word. Make our hearts kind and our choices wise. As we learn what You want, help us follow Jesus at church, at school, at work, and at home. Help us listen. Help us love. Help us share. In Jesus' name, Amen. PRELUDE & LIGHTING ALTAR CANDLES “Onward Christian Soldiers” *HYMN: “God of the Ages” - #698 PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Benevolent God, we want to be wise investors; yet we confess that too often we invest our time, our talent, and our money foolishly. We invest in things thinking that things will give us security. When we come to worship we are reminded that Jesus came to give us abundant life, not to give us more stuff. In our better moments we know that stuff does not lead to eternal life; only a relationship with Jesus can do that. But we are anxious and foolish people. We confess of our myopic view of seeing the world through the lens of ourselves only. Heal us of our blindness and empower us with your vision of who we are and who we can become. Grant us the grace and courage to walk that narrow path which leads to you. Give us the courage of our convictions, O Lord of Life. Make us the people that you imagined at creation. Heal our lack of trust so that we may wholly and completely follow you as disciples of the Risen Lord. We genuinely desire to be your hands and feet in the world, so give us the volition to follow our hearts into a deeper relationship with you. Forgive us in all the places that we have fallen short and give us an enduring vision of the realm of God that we desire to serve. Help us learn to invest together and live as the gracious body of Christ in our community. In this and in everything we offer our prayers in the name of the one you sent to be our Messiah, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Pastor Micah Klutinoty in John 20:1-18 shares that because Jesus truly rose from the dead, we are invited into a living relationship and eternal brotherhood with Him. His resurrection is confirmed by both undeniable evidence and personal eyewitness encounters that reveal His power and love. Like Mary and John, believers are called to love Him deeply, believe without seeing, treasure His lordship, live as sons and daughters, and boldly proclaim, “I have seen the Lord!”

Brother Ken walked us through seven appearances of the risen Lord Jesus to His beloved followers. In each, we see the Lord ministering to a particular need with His presence. May we draw near to Him in faith!

Daily Dose of Hope October 24, 2025 Scripture - John 11:1-44 Prayer: Almighty God and Risen Lord, King of Kings, We come before you today with praise and a sense of awe. Forgive us, for we struggle to keep a focus on you. Help us gather our scattered and distracted thoughts. Help us remember who and whose we are. Holy Spirit, speak to us today. We want to hear your voice. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan. We are currently working our way through the Gospels and Acts. Today, we begin John 11. In today's text, we again meet Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. This is a family that Jesus loves dearly. Mary and Martha definitely know that Jesus had the ability to heal Lazarus. They request his presence when Lazarus becomes ill. After he dies, they still want Jesus to come. Afterall, when we are grieving, we desperately need those in our inner circle who will offer comfort and give us a shoulder to cry on. The sisters knew that Jesus loved them and their brother, and that alone would have been enough reason for Jesus to come. But it's precisely because he loves this family that we wonder why Jesus didn't rush to their side earlier. We all know, based on his miracle-working skills, that Jesus could have healed Lazarus with the first sniffle. But Jesus stayed. He didn't go anywhere. It was like he intentionally waited before heading out to go see the siblings. But we soon learn that it is precisely because Jesus loves them so much that he waits. He knows that his glory will be revealed in a tremendous way, and it will be one more sign that Jesus is Lord. It isn't surprising that Martha does not hide her disappointment from Jesus. She goes out to meet him an tell him that if he had only been there, then Lazarus would not have died. At the same time, we can see in Martha a faith that is quite strong. Even though her brother is dead, she knows Jesus can still do something. But will he do it? The short answer is yes. Jesus has something much bigger planned. But I do love that we see Jesus' humanity here in a very real way. When an anguished Mary finally leaves the house to meet Jesus, along with all the mourners, Jesus himself is moved to tears. Think about it. Jesus knows that he will raise Lazarus from the dead. That was his whole reason for delaying his visit. But when he sees Mary's grief and the tears of the people around him, he is moved to weep as well. When we see grief around us, when people are sobbing, and you can just feel their pain and anguish, it isn't unusual to begin to cry as well. We can feel the pain of others. It's called empathy. Jesus loved Lazarus, he loves Martha, and he loves Mary. He feels their pain. He is pained that they are having to go through this. And he weeps. But there is also great dialogue here and I don't want us to miss it. Lazarus has been in the tomb four days. There was no refrigeration, no embalming. The body would have deteriorated in that climate. So, Jesus asks the sisters to remove the stone from the tomb where Lazarus was laid. Martha protests that the smell is going to be really bad. But that's when Jesus says this in verse 40, "Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?" Don't we all want to see the glory of God? Don't we want to see the beauty of God's Spirit? Don't we want to see his goodness and his power? It's here that Jesus says if we believe, we will, in fact, see the glory of God. With that, Jesus prays to the Father and then invites Lazarus to come out of the tomb. Lazarus did come out. He was still bound up with grave clothes. Before the body was placed in the tomb, it was wrapped with linen clothes and treated with various spices. And Jesus says to unbind him. Lazarus was alive. How often do we live bound up in grave clothes? We continue to be tied to old, destructive habits and attitudes. Even though we may know Jesus, we still are bound by old patterns of behavior. It's only Jesus that can remove those from us so we can experience new life in him. Lazarus was alive but he still needed to remove the remnants of death. He needed to be loosed. Do you need to be loosed? What aspects of your old life do you continue to hold onto? Blessings, Pastor Vicki

John 21:1-25 | Follow Our Risen Lord_10.12.25 by Calvary Chapel Lynchburg

Luke 24:19-24 The post How to See the Risen Lord appeared first on Grace Church Greeley.

One of the Twelve Apostles, he was a Galilean by birth. His name means "twin." The twentieth chapter of St John's Gospel describes how, when he doubted the appearance of the Risen Lord, Christ appeared to him again, saying "Reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing," at which Thomas cried out "My Lord and my God!" Through this one event the Holy Scriptures attest that Christ is risen bodily, not merely as a spirit, as some heresies claim; and that He is in fact God. After Pentecost, St Thomas proclaimed the Gospel in the East, and established the Christian faith as far as India, where the small remnant of the ancient Church still traces its foundation to him. According to some accounts he met a martyr's end; according to others, he reposed in peace. St John Chrysostom mentions that his tomb was in Edessa in Syria; his relics may have been translated there from India in the fourth century.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity.

Mary Magdalene discovers the empty tomb and encounters the Risen Lord, who commissions her to go to the Apostles and proclaim the Good News. (Lectionary #603) July 22, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

Christ our Risen Shepherd promises to provide us everything we need for life and godliness both now and forever.

The women disciples discover that the tomb is empty. They are told that Christ is risen. The morning is marked by fear and confusion at this unexpected turn of events, wonder at the angelic message, and joy upon meeting the Risen Lord.

When considering God's word and I say the name Thomas, if you're like most folks, you associate doubt with this man of God. Pastor Lloyd Pulley has a better word association for Thomas that he'll share with us today. We are nearing the end of our series through the gospel of John, and today we wrap up our study in chapter twenty.

 Put yourself in the disciple's shoes. They're hearing reports that Jesus is alive and appearing to people. They didn't believe at first, and they were scared of what might happen to them. Now Jesus is about to appear to these fearful disciples. Let's see what happens. Pastor Lloyd is in John twenty, beginning in verse nineteen.

Paul preaches how Jesus fulfills salvation history through his resurrection from the dead, inviting us to follow the Risen Lord and be his witnesses in the world. (Lectionary #283) May 16, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

Resurrection and hope are out in the world. But we need to step put into the world and be aware and look carefully to find them. Looking past the darkness, because Jesus knows that darkness and suffering to support us through the pain grief and evil, because the Risen Lord is with us.  Resurrection in our lives has many faces and if we look for it we can see it daily. It is authentic, messy vibrant and filled with hope.  This message comes to us from Pastor Tania. Our Gospel reading is from John Chapter 20, verses 24 - 31.   

When Our Lord rose from the dead, there were no trumpet blasts; there was no grand revealing of this miracle. Why then did God choose to keep the Resurrection hidden? And what does this decision mean with respect to our faith in the Risen Lord?

Friends of the Rosary,Today, the Octave Day of Easter, is the Sunday of Divine Mercy.We rejoice in the mystery of Divine mercy, a gift to humanity that the world needs to accept and understand.From the Beginning, the Divinity revealed His nature as love itself. The love of the Risen Lord forgives, reconciles, and restores life.The origin of Divine Mercy Sunday is from a revelation from Our Lord to the Polish nun Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska.Following Jesus' request, Faustina Kowalska initiated the Divine Mercy devotion.On May 5, 2000, five days after the canonization of Saint Faustina, the Roman Catholic Church decreed that the Second Sunday of Easter would be known as Divine Mercy Sunday.Divine mercy is God's refusal to leave us in our fallen condition. Christ Jesus enters our hardened hearts, banishing fear and sin, and He says, “Peace be with you.”"I shall sing forever the Lord's mercy" (Ps 89 [88]).— Jesus to Sr. Faustina | Excerpts from the Diary of Faustina KowalskaOn one occasion, I heard these words: "My daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. 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 complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity. Everything that exists has come forth from the very depths of My most tender mercy. Every soul in its relation to Me will contemplate My love and mercy throughout eternity. The Feast of Mercy emerged from My very depths of tenderness. It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy.""[Let] the greatest sinners place their trust in My mercy. They have the right before others to trust in the abyss of My mercy. My daughter, write about My mercy towards tormented souls. Souls that make an appeal to My mercy delight Me. To such souls I grant even more graces than they ask. I cannot punish even the greatest sinner if he makes an appeal to My compassion, but on the contrary, I justify him in My unfathomable and inscrutable mercy. Write: before I come as a just Judge, I first open wide the door of My mercy. He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice."From all My wounds, like from streams, mercy flows for souls, but the wound in My Heart is the fountain of unfathomable mercy. From this fountain spring all graces for souls. The flames of compassion burn Me. I desire greatly to pour them out upon souls. Speak to the whole world about My mercy." On Good Friday, 1937, Jesus requested that St. Faustina make a special Divine Mercy Novena to be recited from Good Friday through the following Saturday in preparation for the Feast of Mercy.Jesus also asked that a picture be painted according to the vision of Himself as the fountain of mercy. He gave her a Chaplet of Divine Mercy to be recited and said that it was appropriate to pray the chaplet at three o'clock each afternoon (the Hour of Great Mercy).Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

REFLECTOR- Fr. JimMUSIC- Alleluia, Sing to JesusPOPE FRANCIS PRAYERGracious God,Hear our voice above the murmurs of sorrow for it is the voice of confusion, seeking Your still small voice of calm.Hear our voice as we give thanks for Your faithful servant, Pope Francis. For it is the voice of praise, joining with sadness and joy.Hear our voice as we pray for the future, for it is a voice of hope longing to see Your Church made whole.Hear our voice as we watch with those who deliberate, for it is the voice of humility asking for their wisdom and discernment in electing our new pontiff.Hear our voice as we pray in solidarity with the poor, for it is the voice of peace searching for justice that Francis prayed with such faithful devotion.O God, in Easter joy we lift our hopes and this prayer, with confidence and trust. We offer back to You, our brother, Your son, Francis, a leader and pontiff we will always remember with fondness and gratitude.In the name of the Risen Lord we pray, Amen.

Both Acts of the Apostles and the Gospel of John reveal how the Risen Lord directs us to holy action that transforms our lives and reaches out to others. (Lectionary #262) April 22, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com

Series: Give Us Jesus, 4.20.2025, Preacher: Josh White

In the light of the Risen Lord we rejoice in the new hope we have in our restored relationships with God and one another. (Lectionary #42) April 20, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

Friends of the Rosary,Today, Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord, we celebrate that Christ, who remained two days in the tomb, is risen from the dead, unleashing on the third day God's forgiving and hopeful love in all its power."Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen." The words heard by the women at the tomb — Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James — are addressed to us today, too.It means that death, sin, fear, and solitude are not the last words. The Resurrection transcends our sinful human nature. Jesus is truly risen.And our hope has the name of the Risen Lord. He restores us to life.Today, too, He walks in our midst, changes us, and sets us free from sin. The Evil One has no power over us.Christ shines and His eternal light overcomes the darkness of the world.Happy Easter!Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

A sermon on I Thessalonians 1:9-10 Speaker: Mike McKinley

We begin by recapping this year's seminary basketball tournament and deciding whether or not Fr. Garett is the right coach for the future of the St. Joseph Joey's basketball program. Then we share our reflections on a powerful passage from the Gospel of John recounting the Risen Lord's appearance to the disciples on the shore of the sea.
