PODCAST | Proclaiming the Resurrection in Daily Life
In this meditation, Fr. Peter Armenio reflects on the mystery of the Resurrection and our mission to proclaim the joy that Christ is alive. He explains that we are not called to announce that Jesus is risen through dramatic gestures or grand proclamations but through the example of our faith and our joy.
Christ’s resurrection is not only a past event but a living reality made present to us in the Eucharist and in the Word. Therefore, Fr. Peter reminds us that we can talk to Jesus and love him even though we don’t see him. Through our prayer and conversation with him, we’ll receive the grace to know him who is alive and continues walking with us. Like the disciples along the road to Emmaus, we pray that our hearts will be energized and changed, and our faith and hope restored and increased, in order to announce the Risen Christ with our lives.
