Easter: From Bitter Tears to Living Hope

This meditation reflects on Saint Peter's journey from the "bitter tears" of his denial to the transformative "living hope" found in the Resurrection. It explores how Jesus often remains by our side in unexpected ways—as a gardener or a stranger—even when we fail to recognize his presence through our personal trials. Drawing from Saint Peter's first letter, Father J.P. Mitchell explains that we are regenerated by God's mercy regardless of our past faults. Therefore, with Christ's help, let us go through this life with joy—the joy of the Resurrection. Our Lord is here. We were lost and now we've been found.
