WEEKLY REFLECTION
Why do you Look for the Living Among the Dead
04-05-2026 | Fr. Emmanuel Ogla, VCMy Dear Friends,
The Surprise of Easter – Easter does not begin with joy; it begins with confusion. This confusion is seen when Mary Magdalene goes to the tomb expecting to see the body of Jesus but does not. Peter runs with uncertainty; John follows with quiet hope. In all these, none of them woke up saying, “Today, He will rise.” And that is important because it means the Resurrection is not something they invented. It is something that completely surprised them. Easter is God’s work, and not some human drama. Reflecting on Easter, the following points give us a better understanding.
