Title Podcast#532: Thomas Sunday & Mother’s Day | 11/05/24

Thomas Sunday, in all traditions of Christianity, is celebrated the Sunday after Resurrection Sunday. All the disciples had witnessed and seen the resurrected Lord, except for the disciple Thomas, saying, “I will not believe unless I see Him, and touch His wounds.” Thus, when Christ visited the disciples again, Thomas came up to Him and believed after seeing. Accordingly, Christ says, “Blessed are those who believe without seeing.” So, in a way, Thomas allowed us to all receive a blessing.

Fortunately, Mother’s Day also falls on this Sunday! We celebrate and are grateful for all the many things that our mothers do for us, as well as what they have done for us. Today is a day where we mark the importance of realising all the amazing things that our mothers do, and even just a thank you can brighten her day a little. Happy Mothers’ Day to all mothers, and to the mothers that listen to our program. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.

Title Podcast#531: Resurrection Special 2024 | 04/05/24

The Resurrection of Our Lord from the Tomb is a feast that holds profound meaning to all who celebrate it. This joyful season continues for the next 50 days; we do not fast on Wednesdays and Fridays, the Church’s curtains are changed to white, and all the hymns are changed to their joyful tunes instead of the mournful tunes we are used to during Lent. A hymn commonly chanted in the church; “Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life.” Let us all rise with Christ, in celebrating His resurrection and enjoy this period of joy in the Church.
