Easter Season

5/2/2014

We are resuming our reflections! Happy Easter Season!
Our Lenten journey was blessed with the examples of the Benedictine Women. They inspire us with their faith, focus, relationship with God, and their ability to express and communicate to us from their respective times in history.

It is Easter Season now. That blessed time during which the liturgy takes us through the Acts of the Apostles and the story of the early Church. The Gospels speak about the reactions of the apostles to the resurrection and meeting Christ on the road or at the sea shore. The Gospel of John is being read this week, the second week of Easter. We are embarking on this Easter road that is paved with the joy of the resurrection. It is also reverberating with the expectation of the Spirit to come. Pentecost is becoming visible on the horizon.

The road from Easter to Pentecost

The picture shows the disciples on their way with to Emmaus and accompanied by Christ. What would it be like to journey through this sacred Easter Season like these disciples? No matter what their grief, their doubt or denial was, Christ walked with them.

Make it your Easter practice to walk with Christ daily. Speak to him, share with him. Make your relationship with him central like the Benedictine Women did.
May this road and journey with Christ lead you to Pentecost!
