Goodbye for Now | A Word Before I Go | April 13, 2026

Four hundred and nine days. Every single day. No breaks. No holidays. From Ordinary Time through Advent, through Christmas, through Lent, through Easter. We showed up. And you showed up with me. Today I need to share something with you. This channel is not ending, but it is changing. God has made it clear that the music ministry needs more of my time. I asked for signs. He gave them. I asked for more. He gave those too. And now it is time to obey. This is not goodbye. This is a turn. A new chapter. I will be back soon with something new. More understanding of the Word. More real application. Scripture that lands. But before I go, I want to leave you with one teaching: You are not your consistency. The Father is not a scorekeeper. He is a Father who runs. Everything we built is still here. Four hundred and twenty-three episodes. Every day of the liturgical year. Every reading. Every reflection. The library is yours. Use it. Thank you. For listening. For praying. For letting me into your life. It has been an honor. Go in peace. Serve the Lord. And I will see you soon. God bless. 🎵 Christus Dominus Studios Music Ministry Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5SRCjOFZjUJNuPdh4QLdVB Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/christus-dominus-studios/1825774054 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChristusDominusStudios Amazon Music: https://www.amazon.com/music/player/artists/B0FH6L63V9/christus-dominus-studios Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/artist/christus-dominus-studios/ARVbqfXlxKwKq72 iHeart Radio: https://www.iheart.com/artist/christus-dominus-studios-47400419 Tidal: https://tidal.com/artist/63467259 Anghami: https://play.anghami.com/artist/25087494 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChristusDominusStudios/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christusdominus_studios/ 🎧 Daily Catholic Readings Podcast Video Podcast: Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/7H4YZ5ZIq4rVVF3670Av3t YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTPJP7WEcCSTIO2N4N_AoIsxmzIYRYiSt Audio Podcast: Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/christus-dominus-daily-bread/id1826298886 #CatholicDailyReadings #ThankYou #SeeYouSoon #ChristusDominusStudios #Catholic #Scripture #Faith

Complete Forgiveness | Divine Mercy Sunday | Catholic Daily Readings and Reflection | April 12, 2026

Experience the presence of Jesus Christ in the Gospel and find peace in a special rendition of the Psalm created for today's liturgy from the USCCB. Catholic Daily Readings and Reflection | Second Sunday of Easter (Divine Mercy Sunday) | April 12, 2026 Jesus asked for this day. He appeared to a Polish nun in the 1930s and told her He wanted a Feast of Divine Mercy on the Sunday after Easter. He gave her an image to paint. He gave her a chaplet to pray. And He gave her a promise so audacious the Church took decades to approve it. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. Complete. Not partial. Not proportional. Complete. Why this Sunday? Because this is the day Thomas touched the wound. The same wound that released the red and pale rays in the Divine Mercy image. Blood and water. Baptism and Eucharist. Mercy pouring from the pierced heart of Christ. Thomas reached into that wound and came out believing. You can do the same thing today. The confessional is open. The wound is accessible. What are you waiting for? 📖 Readings First Reading: Acts 2: 42-47 Responsorial: Psalm 118:2-4, 13-15, 22-24 Second Reading: 1 Peter 1:3-9 Gospel: John 20:19-31 ⏱️ Timeline 00:00 Introduction 00:15 Reading I - Acts 2: 42-47 01:06 Psalm Response - Psalm 118 05:26 Reading II - 1 Peter 1:3-9 06:25 Gospel - John 20:19-31 08:17 Reflection - Complete Forgiveness 🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?

Catholic Daily Readings and Reflection | Saturday in the Octave of Easter | April 11, 2026 Jesus appeared to the eleven and rebuked them. Not for their cowardice during the crucifixion. For their unbelief after the resurrection. Mary Magdalene told them. They did not believe. The Emmaus disciples told them. They did not believe. Witness after witness after witness. And they sat at that table unconvinced. Hardness of heart is not intellectual caution. It is a decision about what is possible that has nothing to do with evidence. Meanwhile Peter and John stood before the Sanhedrin with a healed man as evidence. The council saw an undeniable miracle and asked "what are we to do with these men" instead of "what does this mean." Peter's answer: It is impossible for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard. Is silence still possible for you? 📖 Readings First Reading: Acts 4: 13-21 Responsorial: Psalm 118:1 and 14-15ab, 16-18, 19-21 Gospel: Mark 16:9-15 ⏱️ Timeline 00:00 Introduction 00:15 Reading I - Acts 4: 13-21 01:28 Psalm Response - Psalm 118 05:21 Sequence - Victimæ Paschali Laudes 06:56 Gospel - Mark 16:9-15 07:47 Reflection - They Did Not Believe 🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?

Catholic Daily Readings and Reflection | Friday in the Octave of Easter | April 10, 2026 After the resurrection, after the appearances, after everything, they went back to fishing. All night. Empty nets. The old life was not working anymore. At dawn, a stranger on the shore told them to cast the net on the right side. One hundred fifty-three fish. The net should have torn but did not. And John recognized Him: It is the Lord. Peter did not wait for the boat. He jumped in and swam to shore where Jesus was waiting with breakfast already made. Charcoal fire. Fish. Bread. He did not need their catch. He had already provided. Today's reflection asks: what old life have you tried to return to? Where are you fishing all night and catching nothing? 📖 Readings First Reading: Acts 4:1-12 Responsorial: Psalm 118:1-2 and 4, 22-24, 25-27a Gospel: John 21:1-14 ⏱️ Timeline 00:00 Introduction 00:15 Reading I - Acts 4:1-12 01:51 Psalm Response - Psalm 118 05:55 Sequence - Victimæ Paschali Laudes 07:31 Gospel - John 21:1-14 09:32 Reflection - Cast the Net on the Right Side 🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?

Catholic Daily Readings and Reflection | Thursday in the Octave of Easter | April 9, 2026 Jesus appeared to His disciples and they thought He was a ghost. So He did something no ghost could do. He showed them His wounds. He invited them to touch Him. And when they still could not believe, He asked for something to eat. Ghosts do not eat fish. The resurrection is not a spiritual metaphor. It is flesh and bones. Nail scars and baked fish. A body that can be touched, verified, examined. And then Jesus opened their minds to understand the scriptures and told them the part they did not expect: you are witnesses of these things. 📖 Readings First Reading: Acts 3: 11-26 Responsorial: Psalm 8:2ab and 5, 6-7, 8-9 Gospel: Luke 24:35-48 ⏱️ Timeline 00:00 Introduction 00:15 Reading I - Acts 3: 11-26 02:42 Psalm Response - Psalm 8 08:11 Sequence - Victimæ Paschali Laudes 09:46 Gospel - Luke 24:35-48 11:23 Reflection - Touch Me and See 🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?
