The Easter Season
Alleluia! He is risen! The fifty days from Easter Sunday to Pentecost are celebrated joyfully as one “great Sunday.”
With Easter Sunday we begin Fifty Days of rejoicing!
Some things to look/listen for during the Easter Season…
The first eight days following Easter Sunday, (the octave of Easter) are celebrated as one enthusiastic feast day, with each day celebrated as a Solemnity. “Alleluia, alleluia” is sung joyfully at each Mass during these eight days… and again we sing the “Gloria” at our Sunday liturgies…
​
The Gospels proclaimed during the first three Sundays of Easter focus on Jesus’ appearances, post-resurrection, and the Fourth Sunday usually focuses on the powerful image of the Good Shepherd.
​
Liturgy & Parish Life During the Easter Season:
Many rich symbols and images are evident during the Fifty Days, linked in various ways to initiation.
-
The Paschal Candle, lit for the first time at the Easter Vigil, is displayed and decorated near the ambo during the Fifty Days and will be lit for all liturgical celebrations until Pentecost.
-
The new holy oils used in the celebration of the sacraments have been placed in our ambry.
-
On Sunday, April 27, the Church celebrates Divine Mercy Sunday praising God for His eternal love and abundant mercy.
-
In contrast to the starkness the church décor takes on during Lent, during the entire Easter Season, the church will be filled with bright colors and beautiful flowers reminiscent of the beauty of God’s kingdom.
-
New life flourishes at OLL as we continue to celebrate the Sacraments throughout Easter Time…our OCIA’s neophytes & newly initiated now enter the Period of Mystagogy, our second graders will celebrate their First Holy Communion on several Saturdays in May and adults who are already baptized Catholic, and enrolled in our Adult Confirmation Program, will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation on Pentecost Sunday!
​
As we celebrate the Fifty Days of the Easter Season together, may we all become more aware of the Risen Lord’s presence in our lives, as we are called to share in the fullness of risen life with Jesus through the sacraments and through our lives together! Alleluia, alleluia!
