THE POWER OF CHRIST’S RESURRECTION: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: EASTER SUNDAY, CYCLE C, 2025

Christianity: our lives, testimonies and faith are marked by the power of Christ’s resurrection. The power of the resurrection above sins and its consequence: death. It is also the power over the forces of evil, spirits or demons, and the Devil.

COURAGE: CHRIST’S TRIUMPHANT ENTRY: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTION: PALM OR PASSION SUNDAY OF LENT, CYCLE C, 2025

Liturgically, Palm Sunday commemorates or re-enacts the courage of Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem. A historical and bold entry that eventually leads to his passion, death and resurrection. It is not only a fulfilment of the plan or will of God the Father, as Jesus himself indicated to us. It is a demonstration of the love of God to save us at all costs from slavery to sin and Satan.

JESUS: FACE OF GOD’S MERCY: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 5TH SUNDAY OF LENT, CYCLE C, 2025

In the story of the woman caught in adultery, we encounter the loving visible face of God’s mercy in Jesus Christ.  This changes our image and concepts of God in Christianity from a God who seeks to destroy or punish us for our sins to a God who hates our sins but loves and cherishes us poor sinners.
