The life of faith is shared reflection on the St. Thomas Aquinas Parish paschal mystery.

First Reading: Exodus 17:3-7 The book of Exodus tells of the Israelites’ escape from Egypt and their wanderings in the wilderness. Their trials during that time, the way they faced them and the way God responded, porided future generations with food for thought whenever they faced difficulties.

Second Reading: Romans 5:1-2, 5-8 In writing to the Romans, Paul is dealing with a community he had not yet visited. Many Roman Christians were converts from Judaism who believed they would be saved by how they lived out the Jewish Law. Paul stresses here, as he does frequently in his writings, that Christians are saved not by the Law, but by faith — faith in what Jesus accomplished by his dying and rising.

Easter Every Sunday

“What wonderful times we shared.” “Hurry up, you’re late!” “Time stood still.” “I’m counting the days ‘til the kids come home.” “Will tomorrow never come?” “I know my days are numbered.” “She’s watching the clock.” “Relax—we have all the time in the world.”

Human life exists in time. Each person’s life unfolds over It is not surprising, therefore, that believers understand time, made up of a finite number of days, weeks, months, and perceive time in light of faith. The patterns by which and years. Yet all time is not the same. There are moments we organize and live out our time are not merely functional when we are impatient and eager for time to pass. On other or practical, but express a faith-filled perspective on the occasions time seems to “stand still”: the moment is full of meaning of life. serenity, complete and whole. In daily life we may struggle to manage time, organize time, keep up with the passage of THE ORIGINS OF SUNDAY time, and use time wisely. Yet there are also occasions when time seems to be pure gift. Time is the subject of some of Christians inherited from their Jewish forebears a seven- our deepest anxieties and regrets, but also the vessel of our day week, corresponding to the seven days described in joys, promises, and hopes. the creation story in the Bible (Genesis 1:1–2:1). What the early Church brought to this experience of time, however, was a striking new element: the resurrection of Jesus. ETERNITY, CREATION, AND TIME Christ was raised from the dead on “the first day of the To be human is to live in time, but also to long for eternity. week”—Sunday. So, whereas the Jewish people centered Built into our very nature is the capacity to know that our their week on Saturday, the day on which God rested, in the contingent, time-bound life is not all there is. God is eternal; Christian week Sunday became the high point, because of he exists outside of time. To be in relationship with God is the Resurrection. Sunday was—and remains—our weekly therefore to touch eternity. Faith changes the landscape of celebration of Easter. our imagination, allowing us to discover time in new ways— not as a mere procession of days, but as a gift of our Creator. For the Fathers of the Church, Sunday also had a mystical significance. It was “the eighth day,” pointing to the In the story of creation, from the Book of Genesis, we future fulfillment of all God’s promises at the end of time. read that day and night take shape under God’s guiding Knowing that God created light on the first day of creation, hand. When the biblical account says, “Evening came, and they noted the fact that Jesus was raised from the dead on morning followed,” this refrain is not simply a statement of the “day of light.” On Sunday, in this mystical view, creation fact. It stands as witness to the beauty and order that God and redemption met. Hope of future glory filled the hearts has ordained for our world. As day after day unfolds, and of the faithful.

Sunday is the day the whole Church comes together for the eucharistic assembly. It is a day of joy, when we are more than ever aware that the Risen Lord is in our midst. “The festive character of Sunday Eucharist expresses the joy that Christ communicates to his Church through the gift of the REFLECT Spirit,” John Paul wrote, “Joy is precisely one of the fruits of Take an inventory of things you typically do on the Holy Spirit (cf.
