An Easter Reflection from Sr. Ilia

Easter is a beautiful season, bursting with renewal and wonder. It reminds us of the extraordinary power of God's love—the power to raise what is dead into new life. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is not just a past event; it reveals our very purpose: to live renewed lives in God. Yet the path to resurrection is not one of ease. The journey Jesus walked was marked by darkness, betrayal, abandonment, and doubt. At any moment, he could have turned away; however, he remained faithful to his calling, embracing his life’s mission.  Jesus died a thousand little deaths to break open the new reign of God.

Science Without Religion is Like an Ocean Without Water

Teilhard de Chardin was a scientist who thought of science as a process; he found joy in exploring the unknown mysteries of matter.

To survive, he must wrestle with Matter and see what it reveals.
