In today’s episode of God’s Playbook, we reflect on the beautiful and powerful gift of offering a Mass for others. Whether in times of joy, sorrow, or trial, having a Mass celebrated for someone — living or deceased — is one of the greatest acts of love and faith we can share. We explore what Mass intentions are, when and why to offer them, and how this sacred tradition brings comfort, healing, and grace to those we hold dear. Let’s open our hearts to rediscover and share the profound blessing of giving the gift of a Mass.

In today’s episode, we explore why the Easter season lasts 50 days, making it the longest and most joyful season of the Church year. Rooted in Scripture, these 50 days reflect the 40 days Jesus spent appearing to his disciples after the Resurrection, plus the 10 days from the Ascension to Pentecost. Easter is too glorious to be contained in just one day, so we celebrate the Risen Christ for seven full weeks, rejoicing in the new life he brings! May we continue to be Easter people, filled with hope and proclaiming that Christ is truly risen, Alleluia, Alleluia!

In today’s episode, we reflect on the early Church’s spirit of generosity, as seen in the Acts of the Apostles, where believers shared everything so that no one was in need. We are reminded that while we may not be called to sell our homes, we are called to give generously of our time, talent, and treasure. True Christian living means responding to the needs of others with open hearts, just as the first disciples did. Let's prayerfully consider how God is inviting each of us to activate our gifts and deepen our role in building a community of love and care.

On this Monday of the Third Week of Easter, we reflect on the ancient and beautiful hymn At the Lamb’s High Feast, a song of victory and hope that dates back to the 7th century. Its powerful lyrics remind us that at every Mass, we join in the heavenly banquet where Christ, our Paschal Lamb, feeds and nourishes us with his very life. As we celebrate the triumph of the Risen Lord, may these timeless words deepen our Easter joy and help us enter more fully into the mystery of our salvation. Christ is risen, Alleluia, Alleluia!

Today, we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday, a powerful moment in the Church where God unleashes His infinite mercy like a flood, overflowing with grace and love for each of us. Inspired by the revelations to Saint Faustina, we’re reminded that God's mercy has no limit, and through the words Jesus, I trust in You, we are invited to deepen our faith and surrender. Whether this is your first time experiencing this feast or you're a longtime devotee, today is an opportunity to open our hearts to healing, forgiveness, and trust. Like Saint Thomas, may we move from doubt to belief and recognize Jesus in our midst—wounded, risen, and full of mercy.

On this Easter Saturday, the Church invites us to reflect on Mary Magdalene—a woman once cast aside by society, but deeply loved and transformed by Jesus. Her encounter with the Risen Christ reminds us that God sees beyond our past and calls each of us to share the Good News. Evangelization isn’t reserved for clergy or missionaries; it’s a calling for every baptized person to witness through our lives, our stories, and our everyday conversations. As we celebrate the joy of Easter, let’s recommit to being joyful evangelizers, proclaiming with our lives that Jesus is truly risen—Alleluia, Alleluia!

On this Easter Friday, we reflect on the disciples returning to what they knew—fishing—only to find emptiness until Jesus appears. In our own lives, we’re often tempted to return to the familiar, but God calls us to move forward with Him, trusting in His guidance and love. Just as Jesus revealed Himself in the breaking of the bread and the shared meal on the shore, He continues to nourish and strengthen us through the Eucharist. Today, let’s recognize how Christ is present in both the quiet and powerful moments of our lives, inviting us into deeper joy, trust, and hope.

In today’s episode of God’s Playbook, Fr. Rico reflects on the powerful greeting of the Risen Jesus: “Peace be with you.” As we continue through the Octave of Easter, we see how these words transform the disciples' fear into joy and courage. Peace can look different for everyone—whether it’s quiet time, a warm coffee, or a moment of stillness—but the peace Jesus offers goes deeper, bringing healing to our souls. Let us ask the Holy Spirit to help us receive and live out that peace today, trusting that Christ is with us through it all.
