When I ponder the Easter Season that lasts for 50 days and concludes with the great Solemnity of Pentecost, two words come to mind, celebration and evangelization. We are, of course, celebrating first and foremost, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and what His new and eternal life means for all who believe in Him. His Resurrection among other things, puts an exclamation point on everything he said and did in His eartly life and gives us the perfect way to attain life unending with the Lord and all of the saints in glory. The challenge in the Easter Season and ALWAYS, is to pray for the grace needed to inspire us to be like Christ in every way, every day. Easter is also about evangelization, sharing the Good News of Jesus with others and leading them to profess Jesus as the Savior of the world and Lord of heaven and earth. We read throughout Easter from the Acts of the Apostles which chronicles the evangelism that led to Christianity spreading "to the ends of the earth." Our call is not to go to the ends of the earth in proclaiming Christ crucified and risen, but to do it with a demeanor that says to others that "Life in and with the Lord" brings us joy and peace in this life and continual hope in eternal life in heaven. Some of the words of the song "We Are Called" ring in my mind and heart and can hopefully echo with you throughout the Easter Season and beyond: "Come live in the light, shine with the joy and the love of the Lord." Alleluia!
