Hey there,
Happy Easter!
Yes, you read that right.
And no this is not last week’s issue of Genuflect.
I know Easter Sunday has come and gone.
But Easter has just begun!
While most people are done celebrating the resurrection of our Lord, we Catholics are just getting started.
In fact, we’ve got 39 more days to go in the Easter season … in the Eastertide.
39 more days to celebrate the joy … in our hearts and in our lives.
This week’s issue of Genuflect covers what Eastertide is, why we celebrate for 50 days, and more importantly, how we can continue the Easter joy in our hearts until Pentecost.
Have a blessed Easter season!
Keep Believing-
