Where Is God Calling You to Bring Jesus? | The Annunciation & The New Ark of the Covenant | Rise Up Day 21

Happy Solemnity of the Annunciation! Today, we celebrate the moment the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, and she said “yes” to bringing Jesus into the world. Mary is the new Ark of the Covenant—carrying within her the High Priest, the Bread of Life, and the fulfillment of the Law.
But this feast isn’t just about Mary’s role—it’s about ours too. When we receive Jesus in the Eucharist, we are called to bring Him into the world. Where is God inviting you to carry His presence, even in silence?
Join us as we reflect on the beauty of the Annunciation, the significance of the Ark of the Covenant, and our own mission to bring Christ into the world. Watch now and be inspired!

Stop Trying to Fit In—Jesus Didn’t! | Rise Up Day 20

Why do we try so hard to fit in when Jesus calls us to stand out? 🤔 In today’s Gospel, Jesus shows us that being different is okay—in fact, it’s necessary. A prophet isn’t accepted in their own town, and as followers of Christ, we won’t always be accepted either. But you’re not alone—Christ and the saints walk with you. Will you have the courage to stand firm in your faith? 🙏

Do You Have Religious Dress? | Rise Up Lenten Reflection Day 14

Did Jesus wear religious dress? In today’s Rise Up reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer explores how Jesus embraced religious garments like phylacteries and tassels—items deeply rooted in Jewish tradition. But more importantly, He challenges us to consider the why behind what we wear. Do our crosses, scapulars, or Sunday best deepen our faith, or are they just for show? Let’s reflect on how our outward expressions of faith can lead us to a more authentic relationship with Christ.
