Cornerstone and Captain: When Power Meets Purpose | Daily Readings | April 25, 2025 | Easter Friday

From the Sanhedrin chamber to the Galilean lakeshore, today's readings reveal how encounters with the risen Christ redefine what is possible. Ordinary fishermen speak with extraordinary boldness. Empty nets overflow with abundance.Today’s Scripture reflections:First Reading (Acts 4:1-12): Peter, once fearful, now proclaims with boldness that salvation comes through Christ alone.Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 118:1-2 and 4, 22-24, 25-27a): The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord's work is marvelous in our eyes.Gospel (John 21:1-14): The risen Christ reveals Himself on the lakeshore, filling empty nets and restoring broken hearts.Through these readings, we are invited to experience how resurrection transforms fear into fearless witness, how the rejected become chosen, and how Christ turns emptiness into abundance.A ministry of Christus Dominus Bread of Life.Produced in collaboration with Christus Dominus Studios.
