1st Week of Easter – Wednesday B
Today is Easter Wednesday, just the third day after the Resurrection of our Lord from the dead. Our joy remains ecstatic like that of the Apostles and blessed souls who have seen Jesus by now. Yet even we who haven’t seen him are specially chosen and blessed in our trusting faith for, “Blessed are those who believe without seeing” John 20:29. In fact, for the Easter Octave (the first eight days of Easter) a lot of the greetings and expressions and blessings throughout Holy Mass remain the same as was celebrated on Easter Sunday morning. Such are the joy and elation that our Lord’s victory ought to instill in us.
