All Things Catholic with Dr. Edward Sri

What does the resurrection story in Luke 24, the road to Emmaus, reveal about the Mass? Dr. Sri invites us to see how the disciples' journey on the road to Emmaus mirrors our own spiritual lives—filled with hope, confusion, joy, and sorrow. More importantly, it reveals what God truly desires from us at every Mass: not perfection, but presence. Not routine, but relationship.

The Mass: Our Road to Emmaus

As we approach Divine Mercy Sunday, many of us feel an unspoken pressure in our spiritual lives: Am I doing this right? From prayer to parenting, vocation to discernment, we can approach our faith with anxiety, striving for perfection rather than resting in God’s love. Dr. Sri reminds us of a powerful truth revealed in Divine Mercy—God is not waiting to evaluate you; He’s already inviting you.

What if the moment Jesus is condemned to death is actually the moment He reveals who He truly is?

Why Caiaphas Condemned Jesus

The raising of Lazarus is more than a miracle—it's climactic sign that reveals Jesus’ love that leads Him to the Cross. Dr. Sri explains how this miracle is a turning point in the Gospel and how it shows us Jesus' deepest love for His friends. Just as Jesus calls Lazarus to come out, he continues to calls each of us by name to step out into new life.

Jesus Wants to Raise the Lazarus in You
