There are plenty of people waiting for the Gospel, but if the risen one is not present among us, we will not draw anyone to the Church. It is not the lack of fish but the absence of Jesus that is the problem. (John 21:1-14)

At the centre of today's Gospel is the proclamation of "repentance for the forgiveness of sins" (Luke 24:47). This is the commission of the risen Jesus to the Church. (Luke 24:35-48)

The Gospel is full of people who are depressed. Life did not have anything to offer. And things would go on that way if not for one person whom they met at a certain stage of their lives: Jesus of Nazareth. (Luke 24:13-35).

In the Gospel of John, Mary Magdalene plays a remarkable role. Together with the mother of Jesus and the beloved disciple, she was at the foot of the cross at the moment of Jesus’ death (John 19:25). Then, early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, she came to the tomb and was the first to discover that it was empty (John 20:1). (John 20:11-18)

The Jewish authorities had to feel terrible on that Easter morning. (Matthew 28:8-15).

We can look at the mystery of the resurrection from various perspectives. One can see in it the manifestation of God's justice. But, the truth about the resurrection also testifies to the famous saying that "love is strong as death" (Song 8:6). Reflection for Easter Sunday.

The Apostles' Creed teaches us that after his death Jesus descended into the abode of the dead. (Reflection for Holy Saturday)

The first reading of today's liturgy describes the suffering of God's servant and explains its salvific meaning. (Reflection for Good Friday).
