Easter is the mother of all Sundays. It was made obligatory to make every Christian remember and celebrate the Resurrection. We are Resurrection Christians. Our belief rests on it. We live because we expect to continue living even after death. The Sunday liturgy helps us be aware of this belief. The Eucharist that we celebrate helps us to remember what the Lord Jesus had done. It reminds us of the saving action of God in His Son.It is more than enough that we spent six days of our life working and recreating. One day, the Sunday, is being asked to be spent reflecting and celebrating the Resurrection.
There are really a lot of ways we can celebrate Resurrection on a Sunday. Our creativity is being summoned to make that day meaningful and fruitful. Worship as a family. Reflect and share together on the feast, liturgy, homily or other parts of the mass that touched you. Gather your graces and disgraces the past week. Thank God for all the graces and ask forgiveness for the disgraces. Praise God for the good acts and apostolates you had done the past six days and ask for support and inspiration for the coming challenges. These are some of the meaningful things we can do to celebrate the mass in the spirit of the Resurrection. Let every Sunday be a part of our week. Let us anticipate it with enthusiasm. Never miss it! If we truly believe that it is a continuation of the death of the Lord on the cross and from it flows the graces of salvation and the fruit of the Resurrection, then, it is a must and non-negotiable. In fact, one need not be reminded of or forced into it. Salvation can not be attained without it!
