This week, we explore the vision from Revelation of a vast, redeemed multitude gathered in heaven, emphasizing the hope and clarity found in Christ, the worthy Lamb. We are invited to examine what holds the deepest place in our hearts and to prioritize what truly matters. Through the story of a woman who lost her treasured possessions, we’re reminded that human connection and faith endure beyond material loss. By keeping Christ at our center through prayer, trust, and the sacraments—especially the Eucharist—we find true freedom, peace, and purpose.

When we internalize Christ’s words and remain open to His guidance, our lives gain clarity, strength, and meaning amid the pressures and uncertainties we face. After the Resurrection, the disciples struggled with fear and confusion, unsure how to continue without Jesus. Yet through recalling His teachings and recognizing His presence, they found renewed purpose and direction. Their empty nets became a symbol of spiritual emptiness apart from Christ—until His voice led them to abundance.
