FAITH BOOK

April 5, 2026

Gn 1: 1-22; Gn 22: 1-18; Ex 14: 15–15:1; Is 54: 5-14; Is 55:1-11;
Bar 3: 9-15; Ez 36: 16-17a,18-28; Rom 6: 3-11; Matthew 28: 1-10

From today’s Gospel reading:

Then the [Beloved Disciple] also went in, the one
who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed.

For they did not yet understand the
Scripture that he had to rise from the dead.

Reflection:

The love the disciple experienced from Jesus prepared him to see the new life Jesus had entered into. Those of us who hear God’s Word and share the Eucharist today also know the love Jesus has for us–we are now the “beloved disciples.” With assurance of that fact of our faith, we can look into our dead places, our own tombs, with resurrection faith and have hope that God can cause new life where we now see death and it’s remains?

So, we ask ourselves:

• Can we name some resurrection experiences in our lives when we discovered new life after we had almost given up hope?

• How can we share that good news with others?
