Al finalizar la Semana Santa aparece la tradición del conejo y los huevos de Pascua, y muchos católicos se preguntan si estos símbolos tienen alguna relación con la fe. Esta duda podría deberse al proceso de secularización que ha ido quitando el carácter cristiano a estos elementos.

Appearance and substance in the Eucharist
Back to reality
Today is the day after Divine Mercy Sunday and the day after the Octave of Easter and I’m a little bummed.
Be strong, keep going
Every time I pray the Stations of the Cross, I linger at the seventh one, “Jesus Falls the Second Time.” Not one of the more dramatic moments on the cruel path up to Calvary, this second fall, nevertheless, is a crucial point in the unfolding of salvation history.

Easter message from Bishop Donald J. Hying of Madison
“But I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.” (John 16: 22). This promise of Jesus in His farewell discourse before His Passion and death is a remarkable moment of hope for the apostles and indeed for all of us. Yes, Jesus will suffer horrifying crucifixion and an early death. Yes, His friends will be shattered by their overwhelming loss and grief. But against all human expectation, the Lord rises from the grave to live forever, conquering the seemingly intractable power of sin and death for all people of all time. This epic victory of the Son over the power of the Evil One is the source and center of our Easter faith.
