Jesus entrusted the most important message in human history to the person the world was least likely to believe and she went anyways.

Father Thomas Naval proclaims the Gospel (Luke 24:13-35) and breaks open the word. Words for your Way from Santiago de Compostela Catholic Church in Lake Forest, California.

Easter is the preeminent feast in the Church's calendar. It celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus and foreshadows our new life in Christ and our opportunity for salvation. As such, it is appropriate to celebrate this feast for the entire 50 days long season the Church provides us. This blogcast explores “How to be an Easter People" from the Ad Infinitum blog, written by Erin Donn and read by Fatima Monterrubio Cruess.In St. Peter's speech at Pentecost he proclaims, “But God raised him up, releasing him from the throes of death, because it was impossible for him to be held by it.” (Acts 2:24) The truth of St. Peter's words is made manifest in the liturgical rhythm of the Church year. Just as our Lord could not be held by the grave, the celebration of Easter cannot be held to just one day. In her beauty, the Church does not stop at the Octave of Easter either, but offers the faithful an entire liturgical season—50 whole days—to glory in Jesus' resurrection. As Pope St. John Paul II declared, “We are an Easter people.” But once the beautiful liturgies of the Octave are behind us, the Easter lilies are removed from the churches, and the carrot cake has all been eaten, how are we to be an Easter people?One good place to begin is entering into the celebration of the liturgy. I have a distinct childhood memory of attending Easter Sunday Mass while my family was away on spring break. During the homily the priest invited everyone to exclaim ‘alleluia!', and then do it again because we weren't enthusiastic enough. As an unobservant and not-the-best catechised child, the purpose of this exercise was lost on me. But now, as a frequent daily Mass attendee I am much more aware of the forty long, alleluia-less days of Lent and more fully appreciate the significance of proclaiming alleluia together with renewed vigor on Easter and in the days that follow. During Lent many of us are motivated to make more time for Mass or prayer in our lives, which are beautiful practices to continue through the Easter season and beyond. Throughout the Masses of the Octave, the Victimae paschali laudes, an ancient chant, may be recited before the Gospel. Whether you attend Mass and hear the chant or simply take time to meditate on it each day, it is a beautiful tool for reflecting on the Paschal mystery in our lives and offering extra praise to the Lord: “The sheep are ransomed by the Lamb; / and Christ, the undefiled, / hath sinners to his Father reconciled.” Just as Lent is a time of remembering our mortality, Easter can be a time of remembering our Eternal life.Another liturgical tool to draw on is the Liturgy of the Hours, the communal prayer of the Church. In Morning Prayer throughout the Octave, we use the same psalms and canticle of Easter Sunday morning for all eight days. Particularly striking is the Canticle of Daniel (Daniel 3:57-88, 56), in which we pray that all things on Heaven and Earth bless the Lord:Let us bless the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.Let us praise and exalt him above all forever.Blessed are you, Lord, in the firmament of heaven.Praiseworthy and glorious and exalted above all forever.Whether you are able to pray Morning Prayer, or any of the other hours, in community or humbly pray them alone, you are still raising your prayers with all the faithful throughout the Earth and elevating them through Jesus to the Father.Throughout the Easter season, the first readings at Mass are taken from the Acts of the Apostles. Practically this makes sense since Acts recounts the events following Jesus' death and resurrection. But there is also a spiritual significance to reading from this book during the Easter season. Just like His first disciples, we aren't meant to keep our alleluias and joy in the Lord's resurrection and salvation confined to our churches or to ourselves, but to proclaim them to the world. It took a little encouragement for the apostles to do this, and so it may for us, but we too can say with St. Peter: “He commissioned us to preach to the people and testify that he is the one appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead. To him all the prophets bear witness, that everyone who believes in him will receive forgiveness of sins through his name.” (Acts 10:42-43) The Easter season is a grace-filled time to unite ourselves to this age-old mission of the Apostles and share the Good News of Jesus. The Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us that, “Beginning with the Easter Triduum as its source of light, the new age of the Resurrection fills the whole liturgical year with its brilliance.” (Paragraph 1168) At the Easter Vigil, the faithful are invited to renew their baptismal promises and remember the light of Christ that is within them. As we make our way through the Easter season, let us glorify Christ in the liturgy and let the brilliance of the Eternal Light shine forth from our churches and our hearts. Author:Erin Donn serves as the parish missionary at Immaculate Conception Church in Washington, DC. Resources:Listen to On Mission podcast Catholic Feast Days AppRead the Ad Infinitum blog Follow us:The Catholic Apostolate CenterThe Center's podcast websiteInstagramFacebookApple PodcastsSpotify Fr.

“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” (1 Corinthians 15:55) “We are an Easter people.” I'm not sure when I first heard that expression, but it was probably when I was in high school.  Being “an Easter people” means that the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus is the defining aspect […]

 When you look closely at the Easter story, you don't just see one kind of person—you see a whole range of people being changed by the risen Jesus. Different stories… different starting points…but the same turning point—an encounter with the risen Jesus.

A powerful moment of grace unfolds in Luke 23 as Jesus is crucified between two criminals. This message explores the depth of forgiveness, the simplicity of faith, and the hope available even in our final moments.

Holy Saturday At the Easter Vigil in the Holy Night of Easter Gospel: Luke 24:1-12 Support CTK at LSU: www.ctklsu.org/give

In this episode, we dive into what it truly means to be an Easter People—those who live in the light of Christ's resurrection with joy, confidence, and freedom.Drawing from Henri Nouwen's Return of the Prodigal Son, we explore how many of us walk through life with a quiet sense of unworthiness, carrying low self-esteem instead of embracing the truth that we are deeply loved and fully redeemed. Easter isn't just a day—it's a way of life. And in that life, we're not called to grovel, but to rejoice.Let this episode lift your spirit and remind you: You are a beloved child of God, and the victory has already been won.

There's a huge difference in seeing something with your own eyes and then hearing it from somebody else. Can you imagine what it must of been like to walk and talk with Jesus while he lived on this earth? We can learn a lot from the people that had a front row seat to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In our new series, we will see what we can learn from these "Easter people."

Alleluia! He is risen! - Easter is the Church's rejoicing season. It is a fifty-day feast devoted to celebrating Jesus' Resurrection and the ultimate restoration of all things. Through the visions in the book of Revelation, we are reminded that the Kingdom of Heaven is not a long way off but all around us. Even while we experience hardship, pain, and disappointment, we can know that the victory of Jesus over Death is coming to bear through the work of the Church on earth as it is in heaven. Our joy comes from knowing Christ is risen, and Death is defeated. "We are an Easter People, and Alleluia is our song!"Listen as pastors Kris McDaniel and Adrienne Christian discuss Jesus' resurrection and ways to engage the season of Easter.Learn more at atltrinity.org.
