FAITH BOOK

2nd Sunday Easter (A)

April 12, 2026

Acts 2: 42-47; Psalm 118;
1 Peter 1: 3-9; John 20: 19-31

By: Jude Siciliano, OP


Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. “Faith Book” is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.


From today’s 1 Peter reading:

 

“Although you have not seen him you love him; even though you do not see him now yet believe in him, you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, as you attain the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.”

 

Reflection:

 

This passage speaks beautifully to the heart of the Easter season. The first disciples saw the risen Christ, but most believers since then – including us – have not. Still, we gather week after week because we love and trust the Lord we cannot see. Faith becomes a way of seeing with the heart.

 

So, we ask ourselves:

 

·        When in my daily life do I show love and trust in Christ, even though I cannot see him?

·        What experiences have given me a sense of quiet joy or hope that comes from my faith?

·        How does my faith in the risen Lord influence the way I face difficulties, disappointments, or uncertainties?
