This is the Fourth 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:
The gift of new life, of eternal life, is the gift of the risen Christ. It is the promise of Jesus. It was true for Dorcas in Joppa. It was true for those “who have come out of the great ordeal” in the Revelation vision. It is true for us and for all the baptized: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
The Lord is risen indeed, alleluia!
