April 5, 2026 - Easter Sunday
from Blessed Sacrament Parish Community Homilies · host Fr. Rob Howe
In this Easter homily, Fr. Rob explores the powerful cliche "it is always darkest before the dawn" as a lens for understanding both Christ's resurrection and our own spiritual journeys. Walking through the events of Holy Week—from the triumphant entrance into Jerusalem, through the Last Supper's call to service, to the devastating abandonment and denial by Christ's closest disciples—Fr. Rob guides listeners to the transformative moment when light burst forth from the tomb. But this message extends beyond a 2,000-year-old story: Fr. Rob reminds us that the same grace that led to the empty tomb can pierce through the darkness in our own lives today. The Easter message isn't a stagnant historical event but a living promise that Christ's love continues to bring enduring light to our world and our individual struggles.
