Be honest. Are you still celebrating Easter with gusto? This weekend will be the Fifth Sunday of Easter. We have three weeks before we celebrate Pentecost. Here are a few reflection questions:
- Did going to Mass on Easter Sunday or the Easter Vigil seem quite different than the other Sundays of the Easter Season? If so, how? (Obviously, the number of people present is a given.)
- Did you put in more effort during the Season of Lent than what you are putting into the Season of Easter? If yes, why?
- Does the church environment have the same feeling today as it did on Easter Sunday? For instance, compare and contrast how many flower arrangements were present on Easter Sunday versus what there are today.
- Has the Easter Season filled you with a sense of joy? If so, what has been most impactful? If you have not felt a sense of joy, what has been missing?
My dear people, the cares and concerns of the world can weigh us down. Remember, Jesus has conquered all, even death itself. Let us be people of joy!
