In his homily, the patriarch emphasised that the goal of faith is to attain eternal life.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>His Beatitude outlined five key teachings from the day&#8217;s Gospel reading.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst, the risen Lord Jesus Christ appeared to His disciples, entering through closed doors, stood in their midst, and said: \u2018Peace be with you,\u2019 showing them His hands and side to confirm the truth of His resurrection. Second, the risen Christ sent the disciples into the world to bear witness to Him, saying: \u2018As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The third teaching refers to the institution of the Sacrament of Confession. \u201cThe risen Lord Jesus Christ granted His disciples the grace and power to forgive sins, saying: \u2018Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain them, they are retained.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fourth teaching concerns the Apostle Thomas, who was not present at Christ\u2019s first appearance to the disciples and did not believe their testimony. Eight days later, Jesus appeared again and convinced Thomas of His resurrection, saying: \u2018Do not be unbelieving, but believing.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The fifth teaching involves the words: Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed. \u201cThe Risen Christ blesses those who believe without seeing because those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God and has risen from the dead will have life in His name,\u201d Patriarch Daniel explained.<\/p>\n<h2>Spiritual Knowledge<\/h2>\n<p>The Patriarch further emphasised that the Gospel reveals another form of knowledge\u2014spiritual knowledge\u2014distinct from sensory knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFaith is a different way of knowing than through the senses or touch. It is spiritual knowledge that goes beyond physical perception.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who believe in Jesus Christ through the faith preached by the Apostles are greatly blessed to believe in His resurrection. That is why today\u2019s Gospel says: \u2018These are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and that by believing you may have life in His name.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe purpose of faith in the Crucified and Risen Jesus is to gain eternal life. So when we say we believe in the Risen Jesus Christ, we must also mean that we wish to live eternally in His love, in the light and joy of the Holy Trinity.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Foretaste of Heavenly Gifts<\/h2>\n<p>The Patriarch cited Saint Paul, who wrote in Hebrews 11:1: Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFaith is a foretaste of the heavenly gifts promised by God and a spiritual vision of holy realities not visible to the physical eyes. It is a knowledge of heavenly and eternal realities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe same Apostle Paul tells us that all visible things are temporary, while the unseen\u2014those of heaven\u2014are eternal. Thus, by faith, we already taste the joy and happiness God promises us in His Kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough we do not see Christ with our physical eyes, through faith, we feel His presence in the Church and in our lives when we pray. Therefore, when our relationship with the Lord intensifies through faith, prayer, and good deeds, Christ\u2019s presence brings great and glorious joy to our hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFaith is a gift from God. This gift must be cultivated through prayer, living according to God&#8217;s will, and good deeds of charity. For Christ, the Crucified and Risen One communicates His love into our hearts during our prayers through the grace of the Holy Spirit. That is why those who pray often possess merciful love, joy, and peace, because they have received these gifts from Christ Himself,\u201d Patriarch Daniel concluded.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_524371\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-524371\" style=\"width: 890px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-524371 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Patriarhul-Daniel-alaturi-de-sujitori-la-Manastirea-Sf.-Maria-Urlati-890x596.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Patriarhul-Daniel-alaturi-de-sujitori-la-Manastirea-Sf.-Maria-Urlati-890x596.jpeg 890w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Patriarhul-Daniel-alaturi-de-sujitori-la-Manastirea-Sf.-Maria-Urlati-1024x686.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Patriarhul-Daniel-alaturi-de-sujitori-la-Manastirea-Sf.-Maria-Urlati-1536x1029.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Patriarhul-Daniel-alaturi-de-sujitori-la-Manastirea-Sf.-Maria-Urlati.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 440px, (max-width: 768px) 354px, 890px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-524371\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Patriarch Daniel and his entourage at Urla\u021bi monastery, April 27, 2025.
