✝️ The Apostles’ Fast Has started!! ✝️

Today, June 1, we begin the Apostles’ Fast, a season of prayer, fasting, and spiritual growth that continues through July 11.

After receiving the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the Apostles fasted and prepared themselves to proclaim the Gospel to the world. We are invited to follow their example through prayer, repentance, service, and a deeper relationship with Christ.

🥗 During this fast, we abstain from meat and dairy, with fish permitted on most days (except Wednesdays and Fridays).

The fast concludes with the Feast of the Martyrdom of St. Peter and St. Paul on July 12, honoring their faithful witness and sacrifice for Christ.

May this holy season strengthen our faith and inspire us to be living witnesses of Christ in our homes, communities, and the world.

Wait… Lent is over… now what? AND The Holy 50 is here! Let us rejoice and feast!

✝️

You wake up.
No more strict fasting.
No more long services every night.

You feel… lighter.
But also… off.

During Lent, you prayed more.
You slowed down.
You felt close to God.

Now life is loud again.
And somehow… you miss it.

✝️

Don’t lose what you built.
Keep one thing from Lent.
Just one.

What are you keeping?

🌿 Christ is risen! Truly He is risen! 🌿

Today we share a beautiful moment from the reenactment of knocking on the door for Christ—a powerful reminder to open the doors of our hearts to the Risen Lord, who conquered death and filled the world with His light.

Christ is risen from the dead, trampling death by His death.
And to those who were in the tombs, bestowing them eternal life.

A blessed Feast of the Resurrection to you and your family! ✝️🌿���

Today we rejoice in the victory of life over death, light over darkness, and hope over despair. The Resurrection reminds us that no matter how heavy the cross may feel, joy comes in the morning and new life is always possible through Him.

May the risen Christ fill your hearts with peace, renew your strength, and bless your homes with joy and love.

🌿 Feast of the Resurrection – Christ is Risen! 🌿

Christ is truly risen! Death has been defeated, and life has been given to all. On this glorious feast, we rejoice in the victory of our Lord, who rose from the dead and brought hope to every heart.

✨ Short Reflection: The empty tomb reminds us that nothing is impossible with God. What seems like an ending in our lives can become the beginning of new life in Christ.

“Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows…” (Isaiah 53:4)

Today, we remember the ultimate sacrifice of love. Through the solemn prayers, hymns, and readings of Great Friday, we walked with Christ to the Cross—witnessing His humility, His suffering, and His boundless mercy for all humanity.

📸 We invite you to reflect on these sacred moments through the photos from today’s prayers. May they remind us not only of what Christ endured, but of the love He continues to pour into our lives.

🕊️ Let us carry this spirit of reverence and gratitude as we await the joy of the Resurrection.

On this sacred night, the Church stands in reverent expectation as we read the Book of Revelation and remember the Lord’s promise: He who sits on the throne makes all things new.

As we journey through the final moments of Holy Week, we are reminded that history is moving toward victory—the Lamb who was slain is also the Risen King who reigns forever.

✨ Short Reflection: The Night of Apocalypse calls us to watchfulness. In the midst of darkness, the Church lifts her eyes to the eternal light of Christ, who will come again in glory.

🕊️ Let us remain awake in prayer, hope, and repentance as we await the joy of the Resurrection.

“Behold, I am making all things new.” – Revelation 21:5

🕊 Holy Pascha – Good Friday 🕊

Today we stand at the foot of the Cross, beholding the ultimate love of our Savior, who gave Himself for the life of the world. In silence and sorrow, we remember His Passion—His betrayal, suffering, and crucifixion—offered freely for our salvation.

“Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit.” (Luke 23:46)

This is the day when love was poured out without measure, when Christ bore our sins so that we might have life. We do not rush past this moment, but linger in reverence, repentance, and deep gratitude for the sacrifice of the Lamb of God.

As we continue through this holy day, let us keep our hearts fixed on the Cross, where death is defeated by love.

🕊 “By Your Cross, You have redeemed us.” 🕊

🙌 Holy Pascha – Thursday Evening Pascha 🙌�
On this holy evening, we gather in the Upper Room with Christ, as He enters the mystery of His Passion surrounded by His disciples. Here, He gives us the gift of His Body and Blood, and shows us the fullness of divine love through humility and sacrifice.

As we enter the evening Pascha, we are invited to keep watch with Him in Gethsemane—to pray, to remain awake, and to stand with Christ in His suffering love for the world.

Let us draw near with repentance, reverence, and awe, as we journey deeper into the mystery of our salvation.

🕊 Evening Pascha: 6PM – 9:00 PM

“Stay here and watch with Me.” (Matthew 26:38)
