Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
We are still in the Easter Octave and our readings are focused on the post-resurrection stories. We are reflecting on what happened in the days after the resurrection, and we are also reflecting on what happened in the lives of the followers of Jesus after the resurrection.

It’s Easter Season! So, why do I feel like I’m still in Lent? Go to Christ in prayer to make all things new! Easter is a season of ongoing resurrection. It is a celebration that starts with one glorious morning but cannot be contained in a single day, so we continue celebrating the Easter Season. We know Lent is 40 days, and if you are like me, you feel each one. However, we forget that Easter is 50 days, and we are shortchanging ourselves if we are not rejoicing in it!

Last week, here in the United States, we had the finals of what is called March Madness, the college basketball championship. The students of the winning team are still basking in the glory of that final basketball game. Congratulations and pats on the back are still being given to the players. Although they want to hold on to that special moment, it quickly fades. The coaches are already thinking about recruiting new players and making plans for all the other aspects of next season.

On this Monday, after the great celebration of Easter Sunday, we might ask ourselves, “So, is that it?” After doing our best to pray, fast, and give alms, what happens next? Well, for starters, we keep celebrating! We celebrate these eight days, each one as another Easter.

Easter Vigil | Faith Reflection | Holy Saturday
A reflection on the Blessing of the Fire which occurs during the Easter Vigil. The Blessing of the Fire O God, who through your Son bestowed upon the faithful the fire of your glory, sanctify † this new fire, we pray, and grant that, by these paschal celebrations, we may be so inflamed with heavenly desires, that with minds made pure we may attain festivities of unending splendor. Through Christ our Lord.
