When trials, failures strike us

Manila Bulletin

May 3, 2025

There was a “fake news” that Jesus Christ had risen from the dead because the grave was borrowed.

- FR. BEL SAN LUIS, SVD

The wealthy owner, Joseph of Arimathea, was getting it back allegedly since he needed it.

That’s not true. Jesus wanted to prove what he predicted and promised that he would rise on the third day.

***

The gospel of this 3rd Easter Sunday relates how the risen Christ appeared at the Sea of Tiberias.

His appearances served to strengthen and reinforce the faith of his close followers, telling them that he was really their Master who was crucified, died, and resurrected.

***

Just as the apostles had believed in the Risen Lord and his teachings, so we his present-day followers should do the same. It’s easy enough to believe in Jesus when life is stress-free and comfortable. However, it’s not so when trials, failures, and adversities strike us.

I had a friend who was very active in her parish as member of the Legion of Mary, Cursillo and other organizations. When she migrated to the USA, she continued her pastoral involvement.
