Easter Monday 10th April 2023 Daily Reflection and Meditation
“With the Lord at my right hand nothing can shake me.”
Good morning!
Christ is risen! He cannot be held by the power of death. He is now seated at God’s right hand and preparing to send the Holy Spirit to us. Ours is to remove any kind of pride that may make us not acknowledge the truth of the resurrection, and instead cover ourselves with humility in order that we may become the proclaimers of the resurrection.
Happy Easter!

“Because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there” (John 19:42).
Good morning!
We are in the moment of deep darkness, a moment of great silence. The savior of the world has descended into hell. However, it is not all finished for his resurrection will chase away the engulfing darkness. In deep silence, prayer and fasting, join Mother Mary in mourning, and together in great hope keep watch for his resurrection.
Have a meditative Holy Saturday
Jesus loved me and gave himself for me

Jesus loved me and gave himself for me.
Good morning!
It is a Good Friday, the Friday of our redemption. Jesus gives his body as a ransom for our sins. Though his passion and death, we are no longer sons and daughters of darkness but sons and daughters of the light only when we let the light of his resurrection, that we eagerly await, penetrate through us and transform us into his likeness. It is a day of strict fasting so that we may solely be united with the suffering Christ. Follow his path through the way of the Cross, allow all your senses to play part fully, in order to make the way of the cross alive in you. Feel with him the unjust condemnation, the heaviness of the cross, the beatings, the exhaustion, the sadness of the mother and all those that love him genuinely etc. Draw as much spiritual profit as you can.
Do this in memory of me

Holy Thursday 06th April 2023 Daily Reflection and Meditation
Good morning!
I would like to wish all the priests a happy feast. Make a priest celebrate this day. Buy something for him if you can. Don’t just tell him, “Happy feast”, do more than just a good wish to him.* This Thursday is also a Maundy Thursday in which we commemorate Jesus’ washing of the feet of his disciples.
It is not just a memorial; it is more than a memorial. It is the reliving, here and now, of the experiences of the Last Supper and his self-sacrificing on Calvary. It is a real and a living experience, not of the past, but of the present, here and now.
Whenever I participate in the Eucharistic celebration, what is the quality of my participation? As a priest, whenever I celebrate these sacred mysteries, what is the quality of my celebrating of these mysteries, aware that it is Christ celebrant and the sacrifice and you are just a vessel? May these questions make us be fully alive and present at every Eucharistic celebration.
I am wishing you a happy, Maundy Thursday
