Death has lost its grip.Today’s Scripture reflections:First Reading (Acts 10:34a, 37-43): Peter proclaims Christ's resurrection and the forgiveness offered to all who believe in Him.Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23): The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this is the day the Lord has made.Second Reading (Colossians 3:1-4): We are called to seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.Gospel (John 20:1-9): Mary Magdalene and the apostles discover the empty tomb and begin to understand the truth of the resurrection.Through these readings, we are invited to embrace the joy of resurrection, to find hope in Christ’s victory over death, and to live as witnesses of new life in a world still marked by suffering.A ministry of Christus Dominus Bread of Life.Produced in collaboration with Christus Dominus Studios.
