The Octave of Easter is an eight day celebration of the Lord’s Resurrection. The Easter Season last fifty days, from the Resurrection until Pentecost Sunday; Really one Great Celebration. During the Octave we have the option of proclaiming a Sequence, which is a poetic and or musical celebration.
Let me share some of the Sequence with you, “Christians, to the Paschal Victim Offers your thankful praises … Christ my hope arisen ….”
In our reading from the Acts of the Apostles Peter and John preached the Good News and the authorities were threatened. In our Gospel Jesus prepares a meal for His disciples; He does that for us each time the Eucharist is celebrated, He gives us His body & Blood – The Eucharist.
Jesus teaches us that God’s power is made know to us through sharing the Good News. Jesus wants us to follow His Teaching because He knows that is where our true happiness lies.
May God Be Praised.
