Faith is not born from seeing, but from being encountered — from hearing the living Word that breaks into our fear and calls us into life.

Yes, Christ my hope is arisen; to Galilee he goes before you.” Galilee is not geography—it is the place where we first heard the call to follow. It is where our stories begin again.

When the disciples said, “He is risen!” they were saying, “He has met us. He lives in the message. God has revealed himself through him.” They recognized that death does not have the last word. Jesus' message—of devotion, love, truth—lives on. And it transforms those who hear it.

Yes, we as a Church are the prodigal son.

We have received the inheritance—the good news of Jesus Christ, the liberating power of the Gospel, the light of truth. And yet we have often squandered it.
