Reflection for April 20, 2025

Easter every day

We are called to live the Resurrection beyond Sunday and the season

by Sister Carolyn Zahringer

Easter Sunday is not a one-day event!

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” (1 Peter 1:3)

Spring is filled with signs of New Life. Easter is an event that is built on hope and signs of new life. Lady Bird Johnson in 1965 is quoted as saying: “Where flowers bloom so does hope.”

Easter is a New Life event to celebrate! Each week on Sunday we celebrate a “little Easter”. Seeds of HOPE are planted each time we embrace a new life event.

Where will we witness “Easter Resurrection” in our day to day journey? Look deeply!
