Christ is Risen, Alleluia! But what happens when faith feels difficult or God seems distant? In this Easter Octave Monday reflection from Fr. Jordan DeGuire, OP, discover the powerful message of hope in Jesus' command to the disciples: "Go to Galilee."
Learn why Jesus sent them back to the place they first believed, even after their failure during the Passion. It wasn't about ignoring the cross, but about encountering the Risen Lord anew, drawing strength from past experiences of His faithfulness. Fr. Jordan explains how we can find our own "Galilee" – those moments or places where God's action was clear – and revisit them in spirit during challenging times. This practice isn't escapism, but a way to reconnect with hope and meet the living Jesus who walks with us through suffering into new life. From "A Word of Hope" series.
