Episode notes
Easter Celebration Should Spark A Rescue Mission
- Celebration of the Resurrection should prompt us to notice those absent from Mass and the faith.
- Jeff Cavins ties the joy of Easter to a mission: the resurrection's power propels the church to seek the missing one.
Lost Sheep Parable Reframes Church's Role
- The parable of the lost sheep models how Jesus values one lost soul over the 99 who stayed.
- Cavins emphasizes Jesus uses the church—our arms, mouth, feet, and heart—to reach that one person.
Use OCIA And Personal Outreach To Bring People Back
- If someone you know is absent, take responsibility to notice and reach out rather than assuming the church will.
- Cavins names OCIA (RCIA) as a concrete pathway that brought many who now appear at the Triduum.
