It’s more than one day: Pope Francis reminds us to continue to share Easter joy

Editor's View by Mary C. Uhler

In our fast-paced world, it seems as if one holiday is barely done and we’re starting to get ready for the next one on the horizon.

This is especially true in the greeting card sections of our stores. The Mother’s Day cards have been on display for a few weeks (even though Mother’s Day was a month away at the time), and the graduation cards are on the racks. Before we know it, the Halloween cards will be making their appearance!

We should have time to savor each special day in our lives and not be rushing past any of the religious or secular holidays.

Continue to celebrate Easter

However, Easter should be the definite exception to our quick celebrations. That’s because Easter is more than just one day, as Pope Francis reminded thousands of visitors gathered in St. Peter’s Square on Easter Monday. In fact, he told them to celebrate Easter all through the week — and beyond.

Easter with Flannery O’Connor

This coming August 3 will mark the golden anniversary of Flannery O’Connor’s “Passover,” to adopt the biblical image John Paul II used to describe the Christian journey through death to eternal life.

In the 50 years since lupus erythematosus claimed her at age 39, O’Connor’s literary genius has been widely celebrated.

Threads of Hope: Providing hope for families in the Philippines

BERLIN — As a part of our local wellness campaign, “Read. Run. Reach,” All Saints Catholic School (ASCS) in Berlin is partnering with an organization called “Threads of Hope” in an effort to provide hope for families at risk and in need in the Philippines and for children and their families in our own community who may need medical assistance.

It has been over four months since Typhoon Haiyan wreaked havoc in the Philippines, but the effects of the storm are still very visible. Many families continue to suffer from the aftermath of the Super Storm, which left nearly the entire island in shambles.

Todo el tiempo le pertenece a Él

Esta columna es la comunicación del Obispo con los fieles de la Diócesis de Madison. Cualquier circulación más amplia va más allá de la intención del Obispo.

Queridos amigos:

Siempre es extraño preparar una columna sobre este tema para el Catholic Herald.

Mientras escribo, es lunes y acabamos de comenzar la Semana Santa. Cuando este número llegue a sus hogares, será probablemente Jueves Santo pero será la “edición de Pascua”. Acabamos de vivir el Domingo de Ramos, cuando hemos cantado con alegría “¡Hosanna!” y Jesús ha entrado triunfante en Jerusalén.

Entonces, ¿debería reflexionar sobre esos momentos de gloria mundana? ¿Debería alegrarme con todo el gusto de la Pascua, sabiendo que leerán esto con el brillo de esos días? ¿O debería considerar la oscuridad de la Pasión y la Muerte de Cristo, considerando que podrían leer esta columna el Jueves o el Viernes Santo?

Claro que no será el fin del mundo si escojo alguno de estos temas, y el tema tampoco es la tensión de tener que escribir esta columna.
