## Resource

This homily reflects on the third Sunday of Easter by connecting sports culture to the Resurrection of Christ. Our reflection draws on personal memories of the NBA rivalry between the Lakers and Celtics to illustrate the difference between temporary worldly victory and the eternal triumph of Jesus over death. By recounting the Gospel of Luke, I describe the journey of two disciples to Emmaus who were initially blinded by their own grief and political expectations. He emphasizes that just as the disciples eventually recognized Jesus during the breaking of the bread, modern believers should maintain a victorious perspective despite life's failures. Ultimately, we are encouraged to develop a spirit of resilience and faith, and to view our challenges through the lens of Christ’s ultimate victory.
