Third Sunday of Easter REFLECTION TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION During the third Sunday of Easter let us think about people The month of May has not only good weather, but an inter- whose lives are transformed by that first Easter experience; esng pedigree. It is named aer the Roman goddess Maia, people who encountered Jesus, risen from the dead and bring- said to be the mother of Hermes, or Mercury. The Romans saw ing new hope and meaning to their lives. On the contrary, very it as “love’s month,” while in England, more praccal farmers oen we experience what the disciples encountered in the called it “Three Milks,” since the cows grazing on springme’s bounty could produce at a phenomenal rate. Old customs die gospel of today. Several mes in our lives we have commied hard, and Chrisans have never made peace with Mayme mistakes, some serious, some trivial, when we had thought we frolics. No wonder that popular tradion dedicated the month’s knew what we were doing. Somemes we would not even prayers and devoons to Mary, although we cannot lose sight acknowledge and ask for pardon. Human understanding has its of the fact that the liturgy always has Easter at the center of own limitaons. No one would imagine that the disciples, aer celebraon. Recent developments have enriched Mary’s place their long stay with Jesus, would not recognize their Master in a cycle of feast days woven through the whole year, dedicat- aer the resurrecon. Divine illuminaon was what they ed Saturday as a weekly day for devoon, and highlighted lacked. Their sadness at his death has blinded them to what is Mary’s role in the Advent story. In fact, every day of the year happening before their very eyes. We can only recognize the Evening Prayer centers on the singing of Mary’s Cancle of risen Lord by being docile to the will of God and not relying only Praise. The fiy days of Easter culminate on Pentecost with on our intellectual fits, polical status or material possession. Mary, present of course for Christ’s birth, waing in the upper We also seek and find Divine illuminaon when we humbly room for the birth of the church. —James Field, Copyright © J.S. acknowledge our human limitaons and our mistakes. Above Paluch Co. all, our inner eyes are illumined by knowing and keeping God’s words. ~ Fr. Caroli Shao Pro-Life Corner Easter is a Season — Just as Sunday is one day out of seven, so the Easter season, a period of 50 days, is approximately one- seventh of the year. The Easter season, a me of special rejoic- ing and celebraon of the Resurrecon of Christ, is the “Great Sunday” of the year. The liturgical prayers and readings focus on the Resurrecon and the effects that it has on believers and on the world. The Acts of the Apostles is a book of Scripture that provides the source of most of the readings of the Easter Season, and it shows the vigor with which the apostles pro- claimed the Resurrecon and brought many to the waters of bapsm to share the new life of Christ. This season is a celebra- on of life, and leads us all to a deeper commitment to pro- claim, celebrate, and serve the gi of human life. — PriestsforLife.org Next week we will take up the Catholic Home Missions Appeal.
