2026 Easter Events & Resources
Sometimes, life feels stuck in the sorrow of Good Friday or the silence of Holy Saturday. On Easter morning, Mary Magdalene stands before an empty tomb, while the disciples hide in fear, believing all is lost. Yet, love prevails.
During the 50 days of the Easter season, journey with us as we reflect on how Jesus walked with and prepared his disciples for Pentecost. Like them, we are called to be witnesses to the hope that always breaks through. During this Jubilee of Hope, become a missionary disciple of hope.
Thoughtful reflections grounded in Scripture and mission. Maryknoll Reflection Guides help individuals, small groups, and parish communities connect their faith with the world around them through prayer, discussion, and inspiring stories from mission.
Faith made simple for little ones and the people guiding them. Families in Mission offers short reflections, fun activities, and conversation starters to help families with young children and catechists forming the next generation grow in compassion, service, and awareness of the global Church.
Reflexiones profundas basadas en la Escritura y la misión. Las Guías de Reflexión de Maryknoll ayudan a personas, grupos pequeños y comunidades parroquiales a conectar su fe con el mundo que los rodea a través de la oración, el diálogo y las historias inspiradoras de la misión.
La fe, sencilla para los más pequeños y quienes los acompañan. Familias en Misión ofrece breves reflexiones, actividades y temas de conversación para formar en familias y catequistas la compasión, el servicio y la conciencia de la Iglesia universal.

Visio Divina Exercises
Visio Divina — “sacred seeing” — is an ancient form of Christian prayer in which we allow our hearts and imaginations to enter into a sacred image, in silence, to see what God might have to say to us.
