Eastertide Devotional 2020 Daily Scripture Readings for the Easter Season From Easter to Ascension to Pentecost April 13-June 9, 2020 Daily Scripture Readings for the Easter Season From Easter to Ascension to Pentecost The fifty days from Easter Sunday to Pentecost are celebrated as one great feast. The Easter season is considered to be one great Sunday—one feast that spans fifty days. This period is sometimes known as the Great Sunday. The eighth Sunday after Easter is Pentecost Sunday such that this season is a “week of weeks.” Towards the end of this season, the Ascension occurs forty days after Easter. This is an important part of the Easter story in that Christ has to ascend in order for salvation to be complete and fulfilled. Following are a list of daily Scripture readings that take us through the resurrection narratives, the post-resurrection appearances of Christ, the doctrine of the resurrection, Christ’s ascension to the right hand of the Father, and the birth of the Church at the day of Pentecost. In addition, there are three simple liturgies—two for morning and one for evening. These are intended as a guide or starting point for those desiring a bit more structure to their devotional time. You can use them with others or on your own; use these suggested verses or substitute others; or use different parts on different days. First Morning Liturgy The Call to Prayer —Psalm 51:16 Open my lips, O Lord, And my mouth shall proclaim your praise. The Refrain —Proverbs 12:28 In the path of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death. The Request for Presence O God, come to my assistance O Lord, make haste to help me. The Lord’s Prayer Scripture Reading Prayer Lord God, Almighty and Everlasting Father, You have brought me in safety to the beginning of this day. Preserve me with Your mighty power that I may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all I do, direct me to the fulfilling of Your purposes; through Jesus Christ me Lord. Amen. Second Morning Liturgy The Call to Prayer—Psalm 150:6 Let everything that has breath Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! Greeting—Psalm 28:7 Blessed is the Lord! For He has heard the voice of my prayer. Refrain—Psalm 56:13 For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life. The Lord’s Prayer Scripture Reading Prayer Come, my Light, and illumine my darkness. Come, my Life, and revive me from death. Come, my Physician, and heal my wounds. Come, Flame of divine love, and burn up the thorns of my sins, kindling my heart with the flame of your love. Come, my King, sit upon the throne of my heart and reign there. For you alone are my King and my Lord. Amen. Evening Liturgy The Call to Prayer—Psalm 141:1-2 O Lord, I call upon you; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to you! Let my prayer be counted as incense before you, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice! The Refrain—Psalm103:14 For He himself knows whereof we are made; He remembers that we are but dust. Scripture Reading The Gloria Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise You. We bless You. We adore You. We glorify You. We give thanks to You for Your great glory. Concluding Prayer Lord Jesus Christ, by your death you took away the sting of death: Grant me to so follow in faith where you have led the way, that I may at length fall asleep peacefully in you and wake in your likeness; for your tender mercies’ sake. Amen. The Final Petition May the Lord God, father of all mercy, grant us who dwell here a peaceful night and a perfect end. Amen Scripture Readings for Easter to Ascension to Pentecost April 13 Matthew 28:1-10 The Resurrection and Appearance to the Marys April 14 Mark 16:1-8 The Resurrection and Appearance to the Marys April 15 Luke 24:1-12 The Resurrection April 16 John 20:1-10 Peter and John go to the Empty Tomb April 17 Matthew 28:11-15 The Report of the Guard April 18 John 20:11-18 Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalen April 19—Second Sunday of Easter April 20 John 20:19-23 Jesus Appears to His Disciples April 21 John 20:24-31 Jesus Appears to Thomas April 22 Luke 24:13-27 On the Road to Emmaus, Pt 1 April 23 Luke 24:28-35 On the Road to Emmaus, Pt 2 April 24 Luke 24:36-49 Jesus Appears to His Disciples April 25 Colossians 3:1-17 Put on the New Self April 26—Third Sunday of Easter April 27 John 21:1-14 Jesus Appears to Seven Disciples April 28 John 21:15-19 Jesus and Peter April 29 John 21:20-25 Jesus Speaks about John April 20 Romans 5:1-11 Reconciliation with God May 1 Romans 5:12-21 Death in Adam and Life in Christ May 2 Romans 6:1-14 Dead to Sin and Alive to God May 3—Fourth Sunday of Easter May 4 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 The Resurrection of Christ May 5 1 Corinthians 15:12-28 The Resurrection of the Dead May 6 1 Corinthians 15:50-58 Mystery and Victory May 7 Philippians 3:7-11 Righteousness Through Faith in Christ May 8 1 Peter 1:3-9 Born Again to a Living Hope May 9 Philippians 2:5-11 The Humility of Christ May 10—Fifth Sunday of Easter May 11 John 11:25-26 I am the Resurrection May 12 Romans 10:8-9 The Word is Near You May 13 Isaiah 53:4-5 He was Pierced for Our Transgressions May 14 Acts 4:33 The Apostles Give Testimony May 15 Isaiah 2:1-5 The Mountain of the Lord May 16 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 The Coming of the Lord May 17—Sixth Sunday of Easter May 18 Acts 1:1-5 The Promise of the Holy Spirit May 19 Matthew 28:16-20 The Great Commission May 20 Acts 1:6-11 The Ascension May 21 Ascension Day Luke 24:50-53 The Ascension May 22 Ephesians 4:1-16 Unity in the Body of Christ May 23 Hebrews 1:1-14 The Supremacy of Christ May 24—Seventh Sunday of Easter (Ascension Sunday) May 25 Acts 1:12-26 Matthias Chosen to replace Judas May 26 1 John 3:19-24 Love One Another May 27 Galatians 5:16-26 Walk in the Spirit May 28 Acts 2:1-13 The Coming of the Holy Spirit May 29 Acts 2:14-21 Peter’s Sermon at Pentecost, part 1 May 30 Acts 2:22-41 Peter’s Sermon at Pentecost, part 2 May 31 Pentecost—Whitsunday Acts 2:42-47 The Fellowship of Believers Cornerstone Presbyterian Church Post Office Box 407.

  • Celebrating Easter for Fifty Days There Is No Scriptural Requirement for Us to Celebrate Easter for Fifty Days, Or Even One Day, for That Matter
    Celebrating Easter for Fifty Days There is no scriptural requirement for us to celebrate Easter for fifty days, or even one day, for that matter. But there is nothing in the Bible that would prohibit joyful remembrance of the resurrection for any length of time. In fact, there is much to commend the practice of celebrating Eastertide. Christian Reflection Prayer A Series in Faith and Ethics Scripture Reading: Ephesians 1:15-23 Meditation† Resurrection changes everything.… This is why I need more than just Easter Day. If Easter were only a single day, I would Focus Article: never have time to let its incredible reality settle over me, settle Celebrating Easter for into me. I would trudge through my life with a disconnect Fifty Days between what I say I believe about resurrection and how I live (Easter, pp. 11-18) (or fail to live) my life in light of it.

We need the extra time to explore, savor, and grow into those amazing implications.

  • Pfingsten I Pentecost
    HAVE GERMAN WILL TRAVEL Feie1iag PFINGSTEN I PENTECOST Pentecost is also the Greek name for Jewish Feast of Weeks (Shavuot), falling on the 50th day of Passover. It was during the Feast of Weeks that the first fruits of the grain harvest were presented (see Deuteronomy 16:9). New Testament references to Pentecost likely refer to the Jewish feast and not the Christian feast, which gradually developed during and after the Apostolic period. In the English speaking countries, Pentecost is also known as Whitsunday. The origin of this name is unclear, but may derive from the Old English word for "White Sunday," referring to the practice of baptizing converts clothed in white robes on the Sunday of Pentecost. In the English tradition, new converts were baptized on Easter, Pentecost, and All Saints Day, primarily for pragmatic purposes: people went to church these days. Alternatively, the name Whitsunday may have originally meant "Wisdom Sunday," since the Holy Spirit is traditionally viewed as the Wisdom of God, who bestows wisdom upon Christians at baptism. Pentecost (Ancient Greek: IlcvrrtKO<>Til [i\µtpa], Liturgical year Pentekoste [hemera}, "the fiftieth [day]") is the Greek Western name for the Feast of Weeks, a prominent feast in the calendar of ancient Israel celebrating the giving of the Law on Sinai. This feast is still celebrated in Judaism as • Advent Shavuot. Later, in the Christian liturgical year, it became • Christmastide a feast commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit • Epiphanytide upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ • Ordinary Time (120 in all), as described in the Acts of the Apostles 2:1- • Septuagesima/Pre-Lent/Shrovetide 31.

  • Guidelines for Lent, Holy Week, the Sacred Paschal Triduum & Easter Season 2018 REGULATIONS for FAST and ABSTINENCE
    † Office of Liturgy Guidelines for Lent, Holy Week, The Sacred Paschal Triduum & Easter Season 2018 The annual observance of Lent is the special season for the ascent to the holy mountain of Easter. Through its twofold theme of repentance and baptism, the season of Lent disposes both the catechumens and the faithful to celebrate the paschal mystery. Catechumens are led to the sacraments of initiation by means of the Rite of Election, the Scrutinies, and catechesis. The faithful, listening more intently to the word of God and devoting themselves to prayer, are prepared through a spirit of repentance to renew their baptismal promises. ‐Ceremonial of Bishops, #249 REGULATIONS FOR FAST AND ABSTINENCE The following may be reproduced in parish bulletins for the purpose of reminding the faithful of the regulations for fast and abstinence: Ash Wednesday, February 14, 2018 and Good Friday, March 30, 2018, are days of fast and abstinence. All Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence. † FASTING is to be observed by all 18 years of age and older who have not yet celebrated their 59th birthday. On a fast day one full meal is allowed. Two other meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one's needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and juices, are allowed. † ABSTINENCE is observed by all 14 years of age and older. On days of abstinence no meat is allowed. Note that when health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige.

  • We Are in the Season of Eastertide, a Period of Fifty Days from Easter Sunday to Pentecost Sunday
    We are in the season of Eastertide, a period of fifty days from Easter Sunday to Pentecost Sunday. Eastertide season is celebrated as a single joyful feast, indeed as the "great Lord's Day". Each Sunday of the season is treated as a Sunday of Easter, and, after the Sunday of the Resurrection, they are named Second Sunday of Easter, Third Sunday of Easter, etc. up to the Seventh Sunday of Easter, while the whole fifty-day period concludes with Pentecost Sunday. We include more alleluias, and The Confession of Sin is absent. Prelude Sleepers, Awake J.S. Bach Seek Ye First Hymn #711 Celebrant Alleluia. Christ is risen!

  • Eastertide Guidebook
    EASTERTIDE TERTID AS E E A Guide for the Season 2021 In the relentless busyness of modern life, we have lost the rhythm between work and rest. —Wayne Muller Some knowing is never pursued, only received. And for that, you need to be still. —Mark Buchanan Better is one day full of quietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after the wind. —Ecclesiastes 4:6 2 EASTERTIDE | REST FOR THE WEARY WHAT IS THE SEASON OF EASTERTIDE? Easter is more than just one day! The season of Easter (also called Eastertide) is a 50-day celebration that runs from Easter Sunday through to the day of Pentecost (the resurrection of Jesus to the birth of his Church). This is a season of joy, gratitude, and reflection on how the resurrection of Jesus can become the centerpiece of our lives and change everything for us in this life and in the life to come. During this season we, as a church family, select a particular aspect of our resurrection life to examine together that we might grow deeper in our love and practice of following Jesus. Americans have a hard time with celebrations that last longer than one day. The only time we really manage to sustain a season of celebration is during the Christmas season, when we go to multiple parties over the course of several weeks. But even then, we usually feel guilty for all that we have eaten afterwards, and start the new year with fasts and resolutions to be more disciplined. Extended, guilt-free celebration is a foreign concept for most of us! The resurrection society of Jesus approaches celebration differently.

  • Three Simple Ways to Celebrate the 50-Day Easter Season
    Three Simple Ways to Celebrate the 50-Day Easter Season Apr 17, 2017 By Gretchen Filz Holy Week is the time of year we experience in a deeper way many of the events we remember each time we pray the Holy Rosary. The Sorrowful Mysteries take us through Jesus' Passion, from the emotional torments in the Garden of Gethsemane to the physical torments culminating at Calvary. Then, after we pass through the sorrows and sacrifices of Lent and Holy Week, Easter breaks forth as a great time of joy and celebration. It is the “Solemnity of solemnities” celebrated by the Church. This is the day our hope was made complete, the day Jesus conquered sin and death on our behalf in order to reconcile us back to God. EASTER ISN'T A DAY - IT'S A SEASON! For Catholics, Easter isn't just a single day of celebration—it's an entire season where we celebrate our new life in Christ. Just like Christmas, Easter is celebrated for an extended period of time—50 days to be exact! The feast proper is celebrated for the full octave (Easter Sunday through Easter Saturday). Then we enter Eastertide, the longer Easter season which ends on Pentecost Sunday. During this fifty days of Easter we relive the joyous events of the Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary—the Resurrection, Ascension, and the coming of the Holy Spirit on Mary and the Apostles at Pentecost. There are many ways you can make Eastertide a very special time of year for you and your family.
