Thursday – 24th Week of Ordinary Time B
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, we are graced with two profound readings that invite us to encounter the risen Christ and reflect on the transformative power of His resurrection in our lives through the liturgy of the word in this day’s Holy Mass. In Saint Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, we hear a powerful reminder of the central tenets of our faith—the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. St. Paul emphasizes not just the historicity of Christ's resurrection, but also its personal significance: “For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received.” The resurrection is not merely an event of the past—it is the foundation upon which our faith stands today.
