~ REFLECTION ~ Easter Sunday may have been two weeks ago, but Easter Time is still just beginning. Other than Ordinary Time, Easter Time is the longest season of the Church year. Unlike Advent and Lent, two seasons that look forward to the two major feast days of the year, Easter is a season that prolongs the feast that s already been celebrated. Because the resurrection of Christ is so important, the event calls for a celebration that continues for many weeks ~ REFLEXION ~ Aunque hace dos semanas del Domingo de Pascua, el tiempo de Pascua apenas comienza. Con excepción del tiempo ordinario, el tiempo de Pascua es el más largo del año litúrgico. A diferencia del Adviento y la Cuaresma, que son tiempos de espera para las dos fiestas más grandes del año, la Pascua es un tiempo que prolonga la fiesta que ya se ha celebrado. Por ser la resurrección de Cristo tan importante, la celebración continúa durante muchas semanas. Did You Know?
