EASTER SEASON
I. EASTER is not just a day but a period of 50 days in the liturgy that recalls Jesus resurrection and his last days on earth. It is the season of the new creation, where the victory of Jesus Christ over sin and death renewed everything. Our Alleluias (Hallel=praise; Yah=Yahweh) give praise to God that even death cannot conquer His life giving love. This is a time of joyful celebration of the triumph of goodness, hope and positive outlook. This is the time to see the better side of life and move on from darkness to light. In the liturgy, the Paschal candle which symbolizes the Light of Christ, remains lighted in the sanctuary during this entire season. In spiritual terms, Easter is not a period of time but a new way of life that is patterned after the life of the Risen Christ, dying to sin and rising to his grace (Colossians 3:1-4). ALLELUIA! II. PEACE is the work of love, the fruit of justice , the result of forgiveness, the gift of the Risen Christ We dont find PEACE because we dont give love, we dont practice justice, we dont offer forgiveness, and we dont follow the Risen Christ.
