Most people treat Easter as they treat Christmas. It is over the day afterwards. But the Church celebrates Easter for a whole week in a solemn way and for fifty days afterwards as a season. Does this indicate the importance and significance of the Paschal mysteries? Are we one of those who heard about the resurrection and ignore its implications? Are we one of those who heard about it, but did not experience anything different at Easter, so we went about our business? Are we one of those who heard and experienced the Risen Jesus in some way and then continue to celebrate his gift of life to us? The grace of Easter is not a one-day gift. It is a life changing gift to those who receive and celebrate this love of God in a conscious way. We are still in the Easter season. Invite the Risen Lord into your heart in a fresh new way, so that his risen life can continue the transformation that began in Baptism.
