22 April • Easter Hope vs. The Secular Age: Finding More

Remote video URL

Alleluia! In a world often focused solely on the here-and-now (typical of what Charles Taylor calls a "Secular Age"), where does Easter hope fit? Fr. Jordan DeGuire, OP, addresses this in his "Word of Hope" reflection for Easter Tuesday. Using Jesus' appearance to Mary Magdalene (John 20), Fr. Jordan shows how the Resurrection fundamentally challenges a limited worldview. The Risen Christ embodies both the familiar and the radically new, demonstrating that reality extends far beyond what we can see and touch. His instruction to Mary not to cling to Him points towards a greater destiny He's opening for humanity. Discover how encountering the Risen Christ—through Scripture, Sacraments, and prayer— reorients our lives towards this larger reality, offering profound hope and purpose that transcends the everyday. Find the "something more" this Easter season.
