He is risen! Alleluia!

This is the night of victory — Jesus’ death and resurrection has freed us from the chains of sins and death! The light of Christ breaks through the darkness, washing over us and bathing us in his mercy!

[Archdiocese of LA @lacatholics]

Even though Jesus is “nowhere visible,” the apostles Peter and John “saw and believed.” @drscotthahn explains the readings for #Easter on @angelusnews 👇

Jesus, in his infinite mercy, is laid to rest in the tomb and descends into hell, freeing the souls awaiting his salvation.

#HolySaturday: A day of stillness, quietly awaiting the fulfillment of Jesus’ promises. Ask for Jesus' help to wait, trusting in his promises.

The Sudarium used in Jesus’ burial signaled his Resurrection to the disciples who visited the tomb. What that Sudarium meant to them and what it means now for our lives, explained on @angelusnews:

Jesus, Word Incarnate, humbled himself unto death, even death on a cross.

#GoodFriday: Meditate on when Jesus entrusted the Blessed Mother to St. John and all of us. Ask for her intercession to help us stand at the foot of the Cross and await our hope at the resurrection.

This week, @archbishopgomez walks us through the Lenten liturgies — the “baptismal itinerary” — that leads us straight to Jesus. Walk through them with him and get ready for the triduum on @angelusnews:

Jesus washes his disciples feet, even when they protest. Jesus, all-powerful God, humbled himself and came to serve, not to be served.

#HolyThursday: Our salvation begins with humility —#MakeRoomforMercy by humbling yourself at the feet of Jesus, asking for mercy & forgiveness.

The Sudarium, the cloth used to wrap Jesus’ head after the crucifixion, has survived “burial, war, and terrorist acts — including an explosion.”

During the Chrism Mass on Monday evening, @archbishopgomez reminded us that we all are called to be healers: “We must be people who bring healing, who bring peace and hope, who bring a kinder, more gentle spirit to our world.” Listen to his words:

30 pieces of silver and the passion of Christ is set into motion. The chief priests paid Judas, but Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice — for the salvation of all, even those who betrayed him.

#HolyWednesday: Reflect on when you've turned your back on Jesus. Ask for forgiveness.

[Archdiocese of LA @lacatholics]

The Mass “preserves the spirit” of Passover songs in the Alleluia recited or sung before the Gospel. Why is it suppressed during Lent? And what does it mean when it returns?

During this holiest of weeks, @archbishopgomez reminds us of our freedom — which is won for us on the Cross. The freedom to be the people that God created us to be. Meditate on his words as we walk with Jesus towards Easter:

Reclining at the table with his friends, Jesus reveals the first step of the coming day: betrayal by one closest to him. A reminder that even the apostles struggled with weakness.

#HolyTuesday: Reflect on when you might have betrayed him, even in small ways. Ask for forgiveness.

[Archdiocese of LA @lacatholics]

One anniversary Mass attendee described the moment @archbishopgomez was “Christ manifested,” during his ministry. The archbishop celebrated his Silver Jubilee with a special Mass.

Mary’s anointing of Jesus’ feet — a sign of deep devotion and love — is criticized by Judas as being wasteful.

#HolyMonday: Reflect on this scene, praying for the courage to always embrace Jesus, even when it’s inconvenient or criticized by others.
