Catholic Daily Readings and Reflection | The Resurrection of the Lord - The Mass of Easter Day | April 5, 2026

The tomb is empty.

Whatever you believe about Jesus, you have to deal with that fact. The enemies never produced the body. The disciples did not steal it. Something happened on the third day that changed everything.

This is either the most important event in human history or the cruelest hoax ever perpetrated. There is no middle ground.

Today's readings bring Peter's proclamation to Cornelius, the psalm that calls this THE day the Lord has made, Paul's declaration that you have already been raised with Christ, and John's account of the empty tomb.

If Jesus rose from the dead, then everything He said is true. Death is not the end. Forgiveness is real. Your life has purpose beyond survival.

He is risen. Go tell someone.
