Easter Me, O God!: Daily Reflections for the Resurrection Season

Most of us think of Easter as a single day, a springtime Sunday filled with celebration, family, good food, treats and the recognition of new life. It's the day that Christians rejoice in the resurrection, the day that demonstrated that "death could not contain" the Lord. In fact, the Easter Season extends past resurrection day for a full 50 days that come to completion at Pentecost. These reflections, drawn from the daily lectionary and supplemented with brief excerpts from other authors, are designed to support our focus on not just celebrating the great feast of Easter, but of becoming Christ's Easter people. Each day, the readers is offered a new way to dwell in the celebration that is Easter.
