The Octave of Easter is an eight-day liturgical celebration that prolongs the joy of Easter Sunday, the Resurrection of Christ. It lasts from Easter Sunday through the Second Sunday of Easter, also called Divine Mercy Sunday. Octave means eight days, including the feast itself, treating each day as a little Easter or solemnity of the Lord. Every day within the octave ranks as a high-level solemnity, with focused Resurrection readings and the repeated Alleluia cry of victory over sin and death. It begins Eastertide, the 50-day Easter season ending at Pentecost, and emphasizes new life in Christ, like a new creation or great Sunday. The octave overrides other feasts, keeping full attention on the Resurrection of Our Lord. This structure allows the Church to savor the mystery gradually rather than limiting it to one day.

Often, the proclamation of truth is obscured by what we today call “fake news” — lies, insinuations, and unfounded accusations. Yet, in the face of such obstacles, the truth does not remain hidden; rather, it comes forth to meet us, living and radiant, illuminating even the deepest darkness.

#Orthodox and #Catholics unite every year in Dhour El Choueir, #Lebanon, celebrating #PalmSunday and #Easter together on the same day. To avoid division, the village chooses one common date for the #Resurrection, bringing the #Maronite, Catholic, and Orthodox churches together.

@dorachan2se What is “fumie”?

日本のカトリック信徒が1%未満の理由はこれもあります。鎖国だけが理由ではありません。この冒涜に対して犠牲が必要です。我々はこの逆をしないといけません。つまり祈りや犠牲の他に、聖体行列、聖母行列など多くのカトリックの信心業となる証が必要なのです。

Do you know that during exorcisms, Saint Gemma Galgani is a saint, so powerful, that she assist exorcists due to the fear demons have of her. She is the patron saint of people suffering from back injury, headaches, migraines, and those struggling with temptations to impurity, May she intercede for everyone having headaches and migraines, today. Amen

I know there are obstacles with location, access, and culture. Maybe find an apostolic church like Catholic or orthodox so you can mitigate the cult-churches you’re talking about in other comments. And if none are physically located near you, maybe look at their websites and see if they stream their masses online so you can watch that way. Email their priests and see if there’s a way to be involved someway or give you guidance to your particular situation. I’ll keep you in my prayers hoping you’re able to find a solution and grow closer to God. And I’ll pray for the intercession of St. Philip Neri (the patron saint of joyful, Christ-filled community life) for you. 🙏

キリスト教に改宗したくてもさ、なんか色々どの宗派も小競り合いするじゃん？ もうさ、聖書と讃美歌と詩が生活にあればいいかなって感じになるのよ。 争うために神を信仰しているわけじゃないからさ。

"He is Risen." An announcement that echoes across the world and becomes a promise of renewal. On this Easter Monday, let us be inspired by hope to become messengers of peace.

I have an article written about me in Aleteia!!!

@atelierciao So cute! 🥰 It would look adorable with some pearl bow accents like a broach or hair accessory. Like this: vv

@okudrum It makes me feel like I’m in an RPG - on a journey trying to find some items for a quest given to me by the tavern master back in the village. 😆

@66___boc I love snapdragons! But one day I also hope to have hedges of different type of hydrangeas!

世界の皆さんへ！ 花言葉って世界共通なのかな？ わたしからミモザを贈ります🌼 あなたの好きなお花も教えてもらえたら とっても嬉しいです。

@cherry180331 My condolences on your father’s passing. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. 🙏

お父さんが今朝、2時過ぎに亡くなりました。 今日が通夜、明日が葬儀に。 お家にいたから、エンジェルケアを訪問看護の看護師さんと一緒に家族でできました。 この約半日の出来事、落ち着いたら綴ります。喜怒哀楽、感情が忙しくです。

Congratulations to all the neophytes who entered fully into the Catholic Church this Easter! May God continue to guide you on your journey forward and bless you abundantly with His graces!

¿Recuerdan que a un muchacho francés lo mataron por proteger a mujeres que protestaban contra el peligro de la inmigración masiva? Una de ellas se bautizó hoy. Como dijo Tertuliano, la sangre de los mártires es semilla de nuevos cristianos. Tu muerte no fue en vano, Quentin.
