Spiritual Reflections From a Priest in the Rockies
The week following Easter Sunday is known as the Easter Octave. For 8 days, we will celebrate Easter Sunday all over again, as each day of the week is another Easter Sunday! So great and wondrous is the Mystery of Our Lord's Resurrection that one, 24-hour day is insufficient to celebrate Jesus' rising to New Life. Thus, the Church has given us this octave to spend an entire week celebrating the pinnacle mystery of our faith, in part by reading the various Gospel Accounts of the Resurrection at Mass each day of the octave.
It is noteworthy that all four Gospels give us very detailed accounts of Our Lord's Passion and Death but provide much less detail about the Resurrection. The focus of the Resurrection stories is how Jesus will encounter His disciples and show them His new Resurrected Body, with some disciples readily believing that He is Risen, while others doubt and struggle to understand how Jesus could rise to Eternal Life.
May we take time this week to read the Gospel reading for Mass each day of the Easter Octave and imagine how we would have react were the Resurrected Christ to appear before us.
In Jesus Through Mary,
Fr. Nathan Siray
