Ask Catholics

Not sharing this to brag, just got an amazing message this weekend from somebody and I wanted to share it but keep it Anonymous for their sake, if you have a minute say a prayer for this person and if you have 2 minutes feel free to also say a prayer for me and this little Ministry of mine and my family. Happy Easter, Christ is risen, Alleluiah! #short

🕊️✨ EASTER MONDAY DROP ✨🕊️
📜👑 EUANGELION — “What Is The Gospel?” 👑📜
(Yes, we’re saying Alleluia again. Loudly.)

Everybody says “the gospel.” Fewer can define it.

Euangelion means good news—but in Scripture it’s not “tips for private spirituality.” It’s an announcement: God reigns. The Kingdom of God is at hand—and once it arrives, it doesn’t “vanish” for 1900 years and reappear with a brand-new founder or a brand-new blueprint.

Jesus isn’t the guy who starts building a tower and then shrugs at the foundation. He counted the cost. He built what He said He’d build.
The Rock struck the statue. The mountain grows. The Kingdom stays.

Yes—salvation is real. Yes—the Cross and Resurrection are the way in.
But the headline is bigger than “me and my ticket”: Christ is Lord, His Kingdom is here, and His Church is not going anywhere.

📅 Companion piece drops WEDNESDAY: “More Than a Military King” (working title) — same theme, zoomed in: what kind of victory, what kind of King, and why it had to look like the Cross.

🌅👑📜 “The Grave Is Empty” — The prophets pointed to it. The tomb proved it.

This one is going live right at midnight on Easter, just as the Vigil gives way to Resurrection morning — and as my OCIA people, along with so many others around the world, enter more fully into the joy of the Church’s Alleluia.

That felt fitting.

Easter is not a random happy ending tacked onto Good Friday.

It is the public triumph of Christ the King.

Isaiah saw the Suffering Servant.
David sang of the righteous one surrounded and afflicted.
Jonah pointed to the descent and the third day.
Passover was already drawing the lines.
And then Easter morning arrived.

The stone was not the end of the story.
The grave was not the end of the King.
Death was not the final word.

What looked like defeat was fulfillment.
What looked like silence was prophecy waiting to break open.
What looked like a sealed tomb became the proof that God keeps His promises.

This song is an Easter victory song — bright, celebratory, a little playful, but still catechetical.

Not just “Jesus is alive.”
But: the Law, the Prophets, the Psalms, the Passion, and the Resurrection all belong to one story.

🎶 “The Grave Is Empty” — for Catholics, converts, Scripture nerds, history lovers, and anyone who wants to see that Easter was written into the story long before the stone was rolled away.

✝️🕯️⬇️ "He Went Down - The Harrowing of Hell" (Holy Saturday Wasn’t Silent)

Holy Saturday feels like nothing happened.

Christ is dead.
The tomb is sealed.
Heaven is quiet.

But that silence… is deceptive.

Because Scripture tells us something shocking:

He went down.

Down to the realm of the dead.
Down to the “spirits in prison.”
Down to where the righteous had been waiting—Abraham, David, the prophets… all those who trusted God, but could not yet enter Heaven.

Not to suffer.

To proclaim.

This isn’t universalism—it’s something far more precise… and far more powerful:

**radical mercy.**

Not everyone is saved automatically.
But no one is saved *without* Him.

They didn’t earn Heaven.
They couldn’t.

So He went to get them.

The Cross wasn’t the end of the mission—
it was the door.

And on Holy Saturday…
He walked through it.

This one came together *fast*—I really wanted to get it out during the Triduum, even if it means the platforms take a minute to catch up. Spotify/Apple may lag a few days, but it’s live now where I can get it out.

🎶 **"He Went Down (Holy Saturday Anthem)"** — a track for anyone who’s ever wondered what Christ was doing between the Cross and the Resurrection… and why it changes everything.

✝️🩸🍷 **"The Fourth Cup Comes Tomorrow" — The Last Supper Wasn’t Finished** (And yes, it's a day late)

The Last Supper didn’t end in the Upper Room.

That’s not poetry — that’s Scripture.

At Passover, there are four cups.
But Jesus stops before the last one.

“I will not drink again…”

Then they sing the psalms —
and leave.

That’s the clue.

Something is unfinished.

He carries that unfinished meal into the garden,
into betrayal, into trial, into the Cross.

He prays, “Let this cup pass…”
But He drinks it anyway.

“I thirst.”

The sponge is lifted.
The wine is taken.

“It is finished.”

The fourth cup wasn’t missing.
It was waiting.

The Last Supper doesn’t end at the table —
it ends at Calvary.

Bread. Wine. The Lamb. The Cross.
One sacrifice. One Passover. Fully complete.

🎶 **"The Fourth Cup Comes Tomorrow"** — a track for Scripture nerds, converts, cradle Catholics, and anyone who’s ever wondered how Thursday and Friday are actually one single act of redemption.

## 📌 **Note**

Yes — this one is a day late.
Triduum doesn’t always fit into a production schedule.

But it still belongs here.

Because the story wasn’t over on Thursday.

The fourth cup… came tomorrow.
