I am reminded by
Katie Sherrod on Facebook:
... we liturgical Christians now embark on the Great Fifty Days. Easter is not just one day, it is a whole season, from Easter Eve through the Day of Pentecost, May 28.
There is no fasting during the Paschal season, and alleluias are said or said repeatedly, ...
We are invited in this season to bask in hope, to acknowledge that God's love is not something we have to suffer to earn, but that we are enfolded in that love daily from birth to death, and beyond.
God loves you. Yes, you. Happy Easter.
The three-day annual re-enactment of life overcoming death is exhausting. If there is a cosmic order and not just chaos, the re-enactment embodies it. And this actualization is true to the human experience of life in all its messy reality. While there is life, let's live abundantly.
