The Catholic Calendar for Tuesday, April 13, 2004
Tuesday in the Octave of Easter

Scripture from Tuesday's Liturgy of the Word:
Acts 2:26-41
Psalm: 33:4-5,18-20,22
John 20:11-18

A reflection on today's Sacred Scripture:

Out of darkness comes the light. . .

Without such a darkness there can be no Light. Through the darkness and horror of Jesus' last hours, we are given the eternal light. We are given the miraculous grace of rebirth with Him through His resurrection on Easter Sunday--a glorious resurrection that we're all called to share.

Jesus overcame. So can we, residing in Him. Let us not fight the darkness in our lives but let us wait in hopeful expectation for the light of God's presence--knowing in the depths of our hearts that it is not far away.

God has a unique plan for each and everyone of us--no detail is left unattended. Today let us remember how deeply we are loved and let our lives be a reflection of this truth.

We ask this through Christ our Saviour.

Amen
