“The primary metaphor for the Easter season is the church as the resurrected people living a resurrected spirituality. Because of Easter we are in union with Christ and are called to live in our baptismal identity in his resurrection. This essential theme of Easter cannot be communicated in a day. It takes a season.” PeopleSpiritualityChristChurchIdentityEssentialsSeasonsUnionsMetaphorPrimariesThemeResurrectionEasterEaster Season Author:Robert E. Webber

“The concerted effort to minimize Christmas has resulted in it being our national Happy Holiday holiday. The Christmas season is now the holiday season. Christmas parties are now holiday parties.

“It was no accident, no coincidence, that the seasons came round and round year after year. It was the Lord speaking to us all and showing us over and over again the birth, life, death, and resurrection of his only begotten Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ, our Lord. It was like a best-loved story being told day after day with each sunrise and sunset, year after year with the seasons, down through the ages since time began.” YearsStoriesAgeJesusChristLordSonBirthJesus ChristSeasonsRoundsAccidentsSunsetSaviorResurrectionSunriseCoincidenceOur LordLife DeathSunrise And SunsetSavior JesusBirth Life Book:The Last Sin Eater Source: The Last Sin Eater
“By his own will Christ was dependent on Mary during Advent: he was absolutely helpless; he could go nowhere but where she chose to take him; he could not speak; her breathing was his breath; his heart beat in the beating of her heart.... In the seasons of our Advent - waking, working, eating, sleeping, being - each breath is a breathing of Christ into the world.” WorldHeartInspirationFaithSpeakChristSleepEatingBeatsSeasonsBreathsCatholicChristian InspirationalBreathingDependentWakingMaryHelplessAdventHeart Beat Book:A Rocking-Horse Catholic: A Caryll Houselander Reader Source: A Rocking-Horse Catholic: A Caryll Houselander Reader
“Every day of our lives and in every season of the year (not just at Easter time), Jesus asks each of us, as he did following his triumphant entry into Jerusalem those many years ago, ‘What think ye of Christ? whose son is he?’ (Matt. 22:42.) We declare that he is the Son of God, and the reality of that fact should stir our souls more frequently. I pray that it will, this Easter season and always.” ThinkingShouldYearsSoulFactsRealityAsksJesusChristOur LivesSonPrayingYears AgoSeasonsFollowingEasterI PrayEntryJerusalemTriumphantEaster SeasonEaster Time Book:That We Might Have Joy Source: That We Might Have Joy
“Brothers and sisters, one of the great consolations of this Easter season is that because Jesus walked such a long, lonely path utterly alone, we do not have to do so. His solitary journey brought great company for our little version of that path…This Easter week and always, may we stand by Jesus Christ ‘at all times and in all things, and in all places that (we) may be in, even until death,’ for surely that is how He stood by us when it was unto death and when He had to stand entirely and utterly alone.” MayLittlesLongJesusChristCompanyPathJourneyWeekBrotherJesus ChristAll ThingsLonelySeasonsVersionsAll TimeSolitaryEasterBrothers And SistersConsolationGreat CompanyEaster SeasonLonely Path Author:Jeffrey R.

It is the time to love the Lord, our God, with all our heart – and our neighbors as ourselves.
