ln the first few days after our first child was born, I wasn't conscious of time. l'd sit still and look at this miracle of life, knowing that I loved her with all my heart and that our lives would never be the same. l'd get to the end of the day and wonder where the time had gone. And when she was married last year, I remembered those days like they were yesterday.

Something like that is happening now, but the first week of Easter is more than a recollection of the empty tomb. Each day's Gospel reading refers to appearances of the risen Christ to his disciples. In this way we mark the "new creation" brought about by Christ's resurrection.
Tuesday, A,pril t4: I am Mass; t Raymond Tom
For many of us, the week was another round of work or school. Our busyness might have kept us from giving much thought to the feast we just celebrated. But in our spiritual lives, time has stood still for a little while so we might ponder this miracle of life. lt's a reminder that we're born new in this moment, an invitation to savor the experience and allow ourselves to be changed by it. ln today's reading, St. Paulgives us a glimpse of what life reborn looked like for the new Christian community. There was unity of heart and mind and generosity toward those who were in need. After the resurrection, their lives would never be the same.
The Church takes its time with Easter so that, no matter how old we get, we'll remember it like it was yesterday and live accordingly. M

Wrct are archangels? Wto nanrcd thent? They were neuer human, so how can they be saints?
The ancient Babylonians believed God
has attendants who
are spiritual beings. Judaism maintained this belief,, and thus the Catholic religion teaches that "purely spiritual creatures" called angels eist (Catechixn of the Catholic Church,330).
The word angel comes from the Hebrew word tnalakh, which means "to send." The Bible has many references to difflerent

kinds of angels. Some angels are messengers. The prefix arch- rneens "important." Thus, archangels are entrusted with very important messages from God. For example, the archangel Gabriel announced to Mary that she was to be the mother of God (Luke 1:26). Three archangels are mentioned in the Bible. Biblical writers named them in reference to the messages they delivered: Midruel ("who is like God"), Gabriel ("power of God"), and Raphael ("God has healed"). Their feast day is September 29. Archangels are not human, but they fit the definition of a saint. Therefore, the Roman Catholic Church added the archangels to the canon (lisQ of saints, because a saint is anyone who is holy. if someone is holy, he or she lives in the presence of God and efsts to serve God.
