This is the Second Sunday of Easter, and we continue to celebrate the good news of the resurrection! Sundays and Seasons offers this reflection on the day and the readings we’ll hear:
In spite of all we have heard and all we have seen, it is often hard to believe. Because it is hard to believe, we will invest ourselves in the Easter mystery for fifty days (a week of weeks). Because it is hard to believe, John the evangelist will provide sign after sign celebrating Jesus’ victory over death. Because it is hard to believe, the risen Jesus will return to us again and again in the mystery of holy communion, inviting us to touch and taste his presence, and offering us his peace.

The Lord is risen indeed, alleluia!
