4th Sunday of #Easter is #VocationSunday! God is calling young people to #ReligiousLife & #Priesthood. If you think someone has the gifts please encourage them. If you are feeling the call don't be afraid to explore it!

Happy Feast day of St. Catherine of Siena. It is raining here in North Bay & I was reminded of this quote for her.

Sunday's Gospel: the Road to Emmaus is the basis for "Renewing the Promise" by ON Bishops. They tell us that Catholic Schools are privileged places of encounter with the Risen Jesus! Let's be open to seeing him today!

3rd Sunday of Easter: Road to Emmaus (Lk 24:13-35). Jesus met the disciples in the midst of their grief & despair & he is able to meet us no matter where we may find ourselves. Let's be on the look out for the Risen Jesus meeting us today!

2nd Sunday of Easter. Interesting how we call him Doubting Thomas because in the Gospels he is the one who makes the deepest faith claim about Jesus: “My Lord & My God”. This Easter Season let’s stop labelling others for their faults & lets focus on their goodness! @npsc_schools

[Fr. Joseph de Viveiros, C.R. @Fr_JosephCR]

#Easter Sat. Even after hearing Mary Magdalene & the 2 disciples of Emmaus the 11 still do not believe. The Risen #Jesus doesn't give up on them! He meets them where they are at! No matter where we are, let's allow him to meet us!

#Easter Thursday Lk 24:35-48 The Risen #Jesus appears to his disciples & says: “Peace, be with you!” Let's allow him to come into our “upper-rooms” & bring us his #Peace!

#Easter Wednesday Lk 24:13-35 "Renewing the Promise", using the Road to Emmaus account, reminds us that #Catholic Schools are places of Priviliage Encounter with the Risen #Jesus! Where do you see him?

#Easter Tuesday Jn 20:11-18 Mary Magdalene doesn't recognize the Risen Lord. Not because he had changed but because she hadn't changed!
Let's let go!
Let's not cling!
Let's not choose death!
Let's choose life!

#EasterMonday Greetings! The woman left the tomb with fear & great joy, & ran to tell his disciples. Perhaps, this describes how we feel: a combination of fear & joy. Today the Risen Lord will come to us and say: "Do not be afraid!" He is risen and with us always!

#Triduum day 3: In the Resurrection of Jesus, God demonstrates the transforming power of God's love. This same power & love is unleashed for us at #Easter2023! Let us allow God to bring us new life!

During these holy days, let’s draw near the Crucified One. Let’s place ourselves before him, stripped, to take an honest look at ourselves, removing whatever is superfluous. Let’s look at him, wounded, and place our wounds in his. Let’s let Jesus regenerate hope in us. #HolyWeek

[Fr. Joseph de Viveiros, C.R. @Fr_JosephCR]

#PalmSunday Greetings! #Jesus longed to enter his city & he desperately longs to enter our #hearts! How will we cut down our "palm branches" & welcome him in a new and exciting way this #HolyWeek both in himself & in the people we meet?
