Juan 20, 1-9
Friends, our Easter Gospel contains the magnificent account of the resurrection of Saint John.

Three key lessons emerge from the unsettling event of the resurrection. First, this world is not all there is. Jesus' resurrection from the dead shows, in the most definitive way possible, that God is plotting something greater than we could have imagined. We don't have to live as if death were our master and as if nihilism were the only coherent perspective. In fact, we can begin to see this world as a gestation site for something higher, more permanent, more magnificent.

Second, tyrants know their time is up. Remember that the cross was how Rome asserted its authority. But when Jesus rose from the dead through the power of the Holy Spirit, the early Christians knew that Caesar's days were numbered. Interpreting the resurrection as a subjective event or mere symbol is exactly what the world's tyrants want, since it poses no real threat to them.

Third, the path to salvation has been opened to all. Jesus descended completely, experiencing pain, despair, alienation, and even abandonment by God. He went as far as one can stray from the Father. Why? To reach all those who had turned away from God. In the light of the resurrection, the first Christians knew that even when we stray as fast as we can from the Father, we find ourselves in the arms of the Son.

Let us not diminish these amazing lessons about the resurrection. Rather, let us allow them to move us, change us, and ignite us.
(Bishop Barron)

The Knights of Columbus assumed corporate status in 1882, an anniversary recognized by more than 2.2 million men worldwide as Founder’s Day. Since then, the Knights of Columbus has followed Blessed Michael McGivney’s vision of bringing Catholic men together in brotherhood under its principles of Unity, Charity, Fraternity, and Patriotism. As Knights worldwide honor their founding today, we continue to pray for the canonization of the Order’s founder. Blessed Michael McGivney, pray for us!

Congratulations to Bishop Myron J. Cotta on the 8th anniversary of his installation as Bishop of the Diocese of Stockton!

Yesterday, March 15, 2026, we gave thanks for eight years of Bishop Cotta’s faithful service and pastoral leadership among the people of our diocese. Through his dedication to proclaiming the Gospel, supporting our priests and ministries, and walking with the faithful in both joyful and challenging moments, Bishop Cotta continues to guide our local Church with humility and care.

Bishop Cotta, thank you for your generous “yes” to the Lord and to the people entrusted to your care. Your pastoral heart, steady leadership, and love for Christ and His Church are a blessing to our diocesan family.

Please join us in praying that God continues to strengthen and guide Bishop Cotta in his ministry, and that the Lord may abundantly bless him in the years ahead.
