Oh, by the way,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Our Gospel Acclamation “Alleluia” returns! The word
"Alleluia" or "Hallelujah" (from Hebrew יה הללו), which literally
means "Praise ye Yah", is a brief form of "Praise Yahweh" and
often rendered as "praise the Lord".
Easter is our principal feast in the ecclesiastical year. Leo
I (Sermo xlvii in Exodum) calls it the greatest feast (festum
festorum), and says that Christmas is celebrated only in
preparation for Eater.
The Easter Vigil is the “Mother of all Vigils”. Easter is also
called Pascha (Greek/Latin) or Resurrection Sunday. Easter
Sunday, then, is the greatest of all Sundays, and Easter Time is the most important of all
liturgical times. Easter is the celebration of the Lord's resurrection from the dead, culminating
in His Ascension to the Father and sending of the Holy Spirit upon the Church at Pentecost.
There are 50 days of Easter from the first Sunday to Pentecost. It is characterized, above all,
by the joy of glorified life and the victory over death, expressed most fully in the great
resounding cry of the Christian: Alleluia! All faith flows from faith in the resurrection: "If Christ
has not been raised, then empty is our preaching; empty, too, is your faith." (1 Cor 15:14).
In 325 A.D. (or CE for historians) the Council of Nicaea established that Easter would be
celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on or after the vernal
equinox.
The word "Easter" comes from Old English, meaning simply the "East." The sun which
rises in the East, bringing light, warmth and hope, is a symbol for the Christian of the rising
Christ, who is the true Light of the world. (During a burial, the head of the deceased is at the
west end of the burial plot symbolizing that when Christ comes again, the person is facing east!) The Paschal Candle is a central symbol of this divine light, which is Christ. It is kept near
the ambo throughout Easter Time, and lit for all liturgical celebrations.
How long does Easter last in the Catholic Church? The day before Easter is properly called Holy Saturday. Eastertide, or Paschaltide, the season of Easter, begins
with the Easter Vigil and lasts until the day of Pentecost, seven weeks later!
The weekdays from the Ascension up to and including the Saturday before Pentecost prepare for the coming of the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete.
The liturgical color for Easter is white. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (no. 346) also states: "On more solemn days, festive, that is, more precious, sacred vestments may be used even if not of the color of the day. The colors gold or silver may be worn on more solemn
occasions in the Dioceses of the United States of America." Especially during Easter Time, instead of the customary Penitential Act, the
blessing and sprinkling of water may take place as a reminder of Baptism.
Easter Time is a very special time as we celebrate life with
our Risen Lord…specifically in and through the Sacraments. All
Sacraments of the Church, and celebrations thereof, are public in
nature. And we will! The Anointing of the Sick will be celebrated
during our Eucharistic Liturgies next week-end. As a reminder:
From the Apostolic Constitution Sacram Unctionem
Infirmorun, the Catholic Church professes and teaches that the Anointing of the Sick Is one of
the seven Sacraments of the New Testament, that is was instituted by Christ, our Lord. As
Vatican Council II stated: “‘Extreme Unction’, which may also and more properly be called the
‘anointing of the sick’, is not a Sacrament for those only who are at the point of death. As soon
as any one of the faithful begins to be in danger of death from sickness or old age, the fitting
time for that person to receive this Sacrament has certainly arrived.
Anointing of the Sick is the Sacrament that is received by those who are ill or suffering.
By the sacred anointing and the prayer of the priest, the whole Church commends those who are
sick to Christ. The sick person receives the Holy Spirit’s gifts of strength, faith, peace, and
courage, and his or her suffering is united with the
suffering of Christ for the building up of the
Church (CCC, nos. 1520-23). Through the
Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, the Church
carries out Jesus’ mission of compassion and
healing for the sick. The one who is ill can also be a
minister to others. By uniting their suffering to Christ, those who are sick can be signs of faith
and witnesses of Christ’s Resurrection to the entire community.
The Rite of Anointing tells us there is no need to wait until a person is at the point of
death to receive the Sacrament. A careful judgment about the serious nature of the illness is
sufficient. The Sacrament may be repeated if the sick person recovers after the anointing but
becomes ill once again, or if, during the same illness, the person's condition becomes more
serious. A person should be anointed before surgery when a dangerous illness is the reason for
the intervention
Moreover, "old people may be anointed if they are in weak condition even though no
dangerous illness is present. Sick children may be anointed if they have sufficient use of reason
to be comforted by this sacrament. . . . The faithful should be encouraged to ask for the
anointing, and, as soon as the time for the anointing comes, to receive it with faith and devotion,
not misusing the sacrament by putting it off". (PN: The Bishop has previously indicated anyone
over 65 may receive this Anointing)

A brother priest had a couple interesting thoughts printed for Easter. Before Lent, the question was, “What are you giving up?” Today, Easter Sunday, the question is, “How will you be feasting?” So, how should we feast? First, while the emphasis is not on self-indulgence, it is on God’s abundance. Think of the miraculous meals Jesus provided, with basketfuls of bread leftover. Coffee and a bagel can be an abundant feast. Second, feasts must be shared. The people at the table are much more important than the food on the table. How about adjusting schedules to make a regular family meal (without texting, TV, or other distractions) a possibility.
