In this Paschal homily, Fr. Vijay Thomas reflects on the powerful encounter between Jesus Christ and Saint Peter in Gospel of John 21, where Christ asks Peter three times, “Do you love Me?” Mirroring Peter’s three denials, this moment reveals that Christ’s mission is not only to forgive, but to fully restore.

Fr. Vijay emphasizes that salvation is more than reaching heaven—it is about entering into deep communion with God and learning to love as He loves. Drawing from First Epistle to the Corinthians 13, he challenges believers to move beyond transactional love toward a sacrificial, Christ-like love that heals and restores relationships.

The homily culminates in a simple but transformative spiritual rhythm: Love. Repent. Repeat. Through this, the faithful are called to reconciliation, humility, and a renewed life in Christ—becoming who God created them to be.

In this Paschal reflection, Rev. Dn. Shojil Abraham invites us to consider what it truly means for the Risen Christ to be present in our daily lives. Drawing from the post-resurrection encounters in the Gospel of John, he challenges the faithful with a simple but piercing question: How much is Christ really a part of our lives?

Referencing the wisdom of Saint Sophrony, the homily addresses why we often feel empty despite the joy of Pascha—pointing to the ongoing struggle with passions like anger, pride, and distraction. Yet, the message is not one of discouragement, but hope: through intentional effort and participation in the life of Christ, we too can rise above these struggles.

By embracing the fruits of the Spirit in every moment—our conversations, emotions, and daily routines—we make space for Christ to dwell within us. Just as Saint Peter left everything to run toward Christ, we are called to turn away from lesser pursuits and recognize that true life is found in Him. This homily is a call to active transformation: to rise, to strive, and to live every moment in the presence of the Risen Lord.

In this powerful reflection on Gospel of John 20:19–29, His Grace Zachariah Mar Nicholovos challenges the common label of Saint Thomas the Apostle as merely “Doubting Thomas.” Instead, he presents Thomas as a courageous and active seeker—one who refused to remain in fear but went out in search of the risen Christ.

This homily highlights that true faith is not passive or merely intellectual, but deeply experiential. Through Thomas’ journey—from doubt to his profound confession, “My Lord and my God”—we are reminded that questioning and struggle are not signs of weak faith, but opportunities for deeper encounter with Christ. Just as the disciples were transformed by the presence of the risen Lord, so too are we called to seek Him actively and live out a faith that is visible and transformative in our daily lives.

Ultimately, this message invites us to move beyond inherited belief and into a personal, lived experience of Christ—one that others can encounter through us.

This homily reflects on Gospel of John 20:19–29 in light of the growing reality of anxiety in our world. While modern studies show a rise in anxiety, the Gospel reminds us that fear and worry are not new—the disciples themselves were hiding behind locked doors, overwhelmed and uncertain. Into that fear, Christ enters and offers His peace.

Focusing on Saint Thomas the Apostle, this message explores how anxiety can lead to doubt when we are separated from Christ, but how His presence transforms fear into faith. Through the powerful witness of St. Thomas—from doubt to his confession, “My Lord and my God,” and his mission to India—the homily reveals how true faith is not the absence of struggle, but the transformation of it.

Drawing also from the prayer in Gospel of Mark 9:24, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief,” this message encourages us to bring our anxiety, doubt, and weakness honestly before Christ. In Him, troubled hearts find peace, and even imperfect faith becomes the beginning of something greater.

In this Paschal homily, Rev. Fr. M. K. Kuriakose reflects on the Resurrection of Christ as the true source of lasting peace. Moving from the fear and despair of the disciples after the Crucifixion to their transformation through the presence of the risen Lord, he emphasizes that Christ’s peace is not worldly or material, but divine and enduring. Contrasting temporary security found in wealth, possessions, and power with the eternal peace given by Christ, Fr. Kuriakose calls believers to seek a deeper relationship with God. Through scriptural insights and real-life examples, he reminds us that true peace comes only from Christ’s presence—and those who receive it are called to become peacemakers in a troubled world.

In this Paschal homily, Rev. Fr. Vijay Thomas explores the true meaning of the Gospel—the Evangelion—through the lens of its original context as a royal proclamation. Breaking it into its three essential parts—who Christ is, what He has accomplished, and what He calls us to do—this message centers on the Resurrection as the foundation of our faith. Fr. Vijay highlights the humility of Christ, especially in the washing of the disciples’ feet, as the model for Christian life. The risen Lord, who lifts Adam and Eve from the grave, calls us to respond by living lives of humility, love, and service. This is the Good News: not just something to believe, but a life to embody.

At the Last Supper in Gospel of Luke, two hands are stretched out—one in betrayal and one in self-giving love. This homily challenges us to confront a difficult but necessary question: what are we reaching for? Through the witness of Scripture and the command of Christ to “stretch out your hand,” we are called to turn away from self-seeking and reach instead for the One who offers us life.

This Pesaha homily reflects on the profound meaning of the Last Supper and the gift of the Holy Eucharist. Centered on the words of Jesus Christ, the message explores the difficult teaching in Gospel of John 6, where many disciples walked away because they could not accept His words about eating His Body and drinking His Blood.

Drawing from the witness of the early Church Fathers and the teaching of Paul the Apostle in First Epistle to the Corinthians 11, this homily emphasizes that the Eucharist is not merely symbolic, but a true participation in the life of Christ—received with reverence, faith, and self-examination.

On this holy night, the faithful are invited not just to remember the Last Supper, but to encounter Christ Himself and respond to His call with renewed commitment and devotion.

In this powerful Holy Week reflection on 1 John 1:5–10, Rev. Fr. Sujit Thomas invites us to step out of darkness and walk in the light of Christ. Centered on the truth that “the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin,” this homily unpacks the deep meaning of Christ’s sacrifice as the fulfillment of the Old Testament, the perfect atoning offering, and the source of our healing and victory.

Fr. Sujit draws connections between the Passover Lamb, the Cross, and the Holy Eucharist, showing how Christ is not only the sacrifice but also the High Priest who offers Himself for the life of the world. Moving beyond forgiveness, he challenges us to grow into true fellowship with God—participating in His life, overcoming sin, and being transformed through His divine presence.

As we journey through Holy Week, this message calls us to repentance, renewal, and deeper union with Christ, whose blood is both our cleansing and our strength.

When Jesus heals the man born blind, the miracle creates more questions than answers. In this sermon, His Grace Zachariah Mar Nicholovos reflects on how true healing often challenges our assumptions and comforts. Lent calls us not only to repentance but also to see the truth more clearly—even when it disrupts what we have always believed.
