This Sunday concludes the Octave of Easter. It is a unique day “made by the Lord,” distinguished by the outstanding event of the resurrection and the joy of the disciples at seeing Jesus. Since antiquity this Sunday has been called “in albis” from the Latin name, “alba,” which was given to the white vestments the neophytes put on for their baptism on Easter night and took off eight days later, that is, today. The gospel passage from St. John is full of mercy and divine goodness. It recounts that after the resurrection, Jesus visited his disciples, passing through the closed doors of the Upper Room. St. Augustine explains that “the shutting of doors presented no obstacle to the matter of that body, wherein the Godhead resided. He indeed could enter without their being opened, by whose birth the virginity of his mother remained inviolate”; and St. Gregory the Great added that after his resurrection, the Redeemer appeared with a body by its nature incorruptible and tangible, but in a state of glory. Jesus showed the signs of his passion even to the point of allowing Doubting Thomas to touch him; but how can a disciple possibly doubt? Actually, God’s indulgence enables us to profit even from Thomas’s disbelief, as well as from the believing disciples. Indeed, in touching the Lord’s wounds, the hesitant disciple not only heals his own diffidence but also ours. . . . . . . #corpuschristi #londoncatholic #catholiclondon #catholic #romancatholic #catholicism #coventgarden #maidenlane #eucharist #blessedsacrament #jesus #jesuschrist #christ #eastersunday #easter #triduum #holyweek #lent #romanrite #romanmissal #missaleromanum #mass #catholicmass #ordinaryform #extraordinaryform #tlm #traditionallatinmass

In the Easter Season the liturgy offers us manifold incentives to strengthen our faith in the Risen Christ. For example, St Luke tells how the two disciples of Emmaus, after recognizing him "in the breaking of the bread", returned to Jerusalem full of joy to tell the others what had happened to them. . And just as they were speaking, the Lord appeared, showing them his hands and his feet with the signs of the Passion. Then, in the face of the Apostles' disbelief and wonder, Jesus had them give him some broiled fish and ate it before their eyes. . In this and in other accounts, one can discern a repeated invitation to overcome incredulity and believe in Christ's Resurrection, since his disciples are called to be witnesses precisely of this extraordinary event. . The Resurrection of Christ is central to Christianity. It is a fundamental truth to be reasserted vigorously in every epoch, since to deny it, as has been, and continues to be attempted, or to transform it into a purely spiritual event, is to thwart our very faith. St Paul states: "If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain". . In the days that followed the Lord's Resurrection, the Apostles stayed together, comforted by Mary's presence, and after the Ascension they persevered with her in prayerful expectation of Pentecost. Our Lady was a mother and teacher to them, a role that she continues to play for Christians of all times. . Every year, at Eastertide, we relive this experience more intensely and perhaps, precisely for this reason, popular tradition has dedicated to Mary the month of May that normally falls between Easter and Pentecost. Consequently, this month which we begin soon helps us to rediscover the maternal role that she plays in our lives so that we may always be docile disciples and courageous witnesses of the Risen Lord. . . . . . . #corpuschristi #londoncatholic #catholiclondon #catholic #romancatholic #catholicism #coventgarden #maidenlane #eucharist #blessedsacrament #jesus #jesuschrist #christ #eastersunday #easter #triduum #holyweek #lent #romanrite #romanmissal #missaleromanum #mass #catholicmass #ordinaryform #extraordinaryform #tlm

We take a moment on Good Friday to reflect with contrition and resolve: “Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”—Luke 23:43 While our hearts are heavy on Good Friday, it is not a day of despair. Our sins and weaknesses are being forgiven, healed, and completely redeemed by the body of Christ now being broken on our behalf. We are to take heart and draw strength from Christ’s example of placing Himself completely in the Father’s hands. Let us commit to remembering Jesus’ compassion, even in the midst of His painful death, as He forgave those who were crucifying Him and the thieves who hung beside Him. We can do no less than forgive those who have offended us.

⚠️DONT FORGET ⚠️ Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. + Luke 12:6-7

“Bearing lights, let us meet Christ, Who comes forth from the tomb like a bridegroom. And with the ranks of joyfully celebrating Angels, let us celebrate the redeeming Pascha of God.” ✨ Pascha is always my favorite day each year! It isn’t merely a feast, although it is a feast of feasts for sure, but it’s also an ascension, a journey, an experience, a revelation. Something that unfolds for your soul differently each year, and deepens your relationship with Christ in new, matchless ways each year. This night as I was singing of His resurrection from the dead at my church, I pondered a beautiful thought: it’s always us who make the mess, and it’s God Who came down to earth, died a torturous death and rose again to clear out that mess for us, just so nothing could ever separate us. This is the true meaning of Easter for me. He redeemed us for Himself, there’s nothing separating us anymore, if only we could make a step in His direction and trust His will. I believe this is the true, amazing, beyond glorious meaning behind the Holy Communion the Lord blesses us to receive during the Easter night: that He gave us His glorious resurrection as a sort of an “engagement gift”, if you will, so that we could become one with Him. No more and no less.❤️So we hear this incredibly joyful news of His resurrection, glorify and praise Him and hasten to become one with Him in the mystery of the Holy Communion. He gave us all of Himself, and how much we should long to do the same! Oh, what a glorious night! When heaven touched the earth, when all boundaries separating us with our Creator were forever broken! Hell, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting? ✨ “Christ, our blessed Crown, like a yearling Lamb, of His own good will sacrificed Himself for all, a Pascha of purification, and as the glorious Sun of Righteousness, He has shone upon us again from the grave.” Christ is risen!❤️ Χριστός Ανέστη!❤️ Христос Воскресе!❤️ Христос васкрсе!❤️ Hristos a înviat!❤️ حقا قام❤️ המשיח קם!❤️
