Weekday in the Second Week of Eastertide

1/9

Click on the image above for today's Reading.

Whoever believes in the Lord may have eternal life.

The interaction between Nicodemus and Jesus continues in today’s reading. Jesus tells Nicodemus that there is no logical explanation for “being born from above.” We may sense it but it is not within our control. We cannot make it happen. Nor do we know when it will come nor can we control where it will go. This is God’s to do! This birth is born from above. It is from God! However, we are able to pray and ask to “be born from above.” Naturally this does not mean that we literally will be born again. Rather, it is that we will be born anew. The new life that we will receive will be a spiritual gift!

What is the spiritual gift we desire in this Easter season? What is the new life that we desire? The Easter season is a time of miracles and new life. We can literally see this as we watch the trees and plants around us. They all are coming to life, blossoming and sharing their beauty with us.

Today, trust that God will gift you with “new” life! We may know exactly what we desire. However, God may choose to give us an unexpected gift that will bless us abundantly!

Today may we keep our minds, eyes and hearts open! Beauty and grace will come to us!

One of our Parishioners is taking part in an SVP Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.Follow her on her journey.

Chris will walk 7.5 miles
from Arcade to Pontevedra today.

The scallop shells guide the pilgrims on their way. The shell’s lines represent the many different Camino routes across Europe, all converging at Santiago de Compostela.

Please remember her and all the pilgrims in your prayers.

The Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage (Camino de Santiago) is an ancient network of routes leading to the shrine of St. James in Galicia, Spain. Pilgrims use a "Credencial" (passport) to collect daily stamps (at least two per day) on the journey to prove they have travelled the route.

Saint James is the Patron Saint of Spain and, according to tradition, what are believed to be his remains are held in Santiago de Compostela. He was one of the 12 Apostles and one of the first to be martyred.

Many legends and myths surround the origin of the scallop shell’s connection to Saint James and the Camino. One story says Saint James saved a knight who rose from the sea covered in scallop shells. Another version tells of a knight’s horse falling into the ocean and resurfacing, covered in shells as Saint James passed by. These tales helped establish the shell as a lasting spiritual emblem of the pilgrimage.
