In this episode of The Daily Liturgia podcast, we explore the depths of faith, justice, and resurrection. Imagine a world where Jesus remains a distant concept rather than a tangible presence in our lives. What if we separated joy from the justice of God, or viewed the Resurrection with skepticism? Today's readings from 1 John 1, Psalm 97, and John 20 challenge these notions and invite us into a deeper understanding of our faith.

We delve into the profound reality of Jesus as the Word of Life, a divine presence that was seen, heard, and touched by the disciples, enriching our mental and spiritual health. The joy found in God's justice, as sung in Psalm 97, offers us a foundation for self-improvement and personal growth. The Resurrection story from John's Gospel encourages us to embrace hope and faith, overcoming doubt and despair.
