Homily #100404 ( 11min) Play – Fr. Angelo preaches on the Resurrection and how it removes what separates us from God, that is,  sin, guilt, disbelief and death. As Jesus escapes from the sealed tomb, which is a symbolic barrier to rising, so too the fact that the angels then rolled back the stone and revealed the empty tomb is a removal of the barrier to our belief and trust in Christ and so removes the obstacles to eternal light and life for us all.

If we have at length interpreted the connection between Supper and Cross, we have in fact all the time been speaking also of the Resurrection. Not only are Supper and Cross inseparable: Supper, Cross and Resurrec­tion form the one indivisible Paschal Mystery. The theology of the Cross is the Resurrection; therefore the Resurrection is the divine response and the divine interpretation of the Cross. The theology of the Cross is a paschal theology, a theology of joyous victory even in this valley of tears.

Homily #090411 ( 11min) Play – Tonight we pass from the darkness of doubt to the Light of Faith, just as the disciples of the Lord went from doubt when they witnessed His death and then to belief as they beheld His Resurrected Body. But, better yet, let us see this Light even if we can’t see Him with our fleshly eyes, as Our Lady did while all the other disciples were still in darkness.
