Friday of the Twenty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time, 2026

The Diocese of Little Rock published a reflection on the significance of Jesus' resurrection for the Christian life on September 18, 2026.

The reflection notes that St. Paul addressed opponents in Corinth who claimed the dead do not rise again, arguing that the entire Christian faith would be meaningless without the resurrection. According to the Diocese, the resurrection demonstrates that truth, goodness, and love are stronger than deceit, evil, and hatred. The text explains that Jesus was killed because he exposed the hypocrisy of powerful people, yet the resurrection proves that truth and goodness will ultimately prevail.
