We've all been waiting for this. For six weeks we've focused on letting go of ourtreasureto help others, taking in a little lessfood, and reaching out to God a little more, all so that we might in some small way prepare for this day-the greatest celebration of our Church year.

So now, after the alleluias have been sung, the baptismal vows repeated, and the Easter lamb or ham eaten, it's time to ask ourselves, "What was all that preparation for? How have I changed?"

When I was young, I gave up candy or little treats for Lent, but after Easter happily went back to eating candy and carried on as before.

As a young adult, lbegan using Lentto correct bad habits. lhad a little more success keeping those at bay after Easter but, I confess, I didn't see myself as transformed.

"How have I drawn closer to Christ through this Lent?" "How will I show forth the glory of his resurrection in your life?" "How will I do these things?"

These are good questions for all of us to ask as this Easter winds down.

Once they realized what had happened, the early Christians couldn't keep it to themselves.

They preached about Jesus' death and resurrection wherever they went, witnessed to the change he'd made in their lives, and tried to live differently. They invited others to join them. Jesus calls us to do no less.

How have Lent and Easter and the memory of Christ's death and resurrection changed you?

How will you live out that change?

April6 Octave of €astsr Mondat4,

Vlhen considering the contents of the gospels, we need to remember a few key points.

29-33 Matthew 2&8-15

we know them developed out of an oral tradition that was later written to preserve it. The process of actually getting them in writing took many years.

Twesday, Aprilt Octave of Easter

In addition, the Gospels were written by different authors who had different audiences with different needs. So it's understandable that there may be minor discrepancies on

Acts 2:14,

Acts

John

2:36-41 20:11-18

Wednesday, April

E

Acts 3:1-10 Luke 24:13-35

Thursdag, Aprilg

Octave of €aster

3:11-26 Luke2435-48 Acts

First, the Scriptures

as

minor details between the different accounts.

However, it's important to note that the substance of the accounts remains essentially the same across the versions we have from the different gospel authors.

The detail of whether there was one man or two angels at Lord's tomb-or 5,000 or 3,000 fed at Jesus' multiplication of the loaves, to give another example-isn't as important as the fact that the Lord had risen or that the multitudes were fed by him.
