A Commentary and Reflection on the Readings for the Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday. The Liturgical Sense of the Scriptures Podcast, by Catholic Author and Theologian David L. Gray.
AUDIO SUMMARY
Resurrection Sunday is a day of unparalleled significance, celebrated under various names such as Easter, the Feast of Feasts, and the Passover of Christ. It marks the most defining moment in humanity’s history, encompassing both the highest grace bestowed upon mankind and the deepest shadow of human sin. The liturgy of the Catholic Mass is described not merely as a ritual but as the highest expression of prayer, encapsulating all of salvation history. The audio recording emphasizes the transformative power of the Crucifix of Christ’s Passion, which compels believers to desire Christ’s Sacred Heart. On this day, Catholics are called to remember that their lives are not about themselves but about what God did for them through His Body and Blood, shared as the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. Resurrection Sunday made having a joyful life possible, with God’s infinite mercy granting forgiveness for sins and calling believers to share in the joyful life through His Son.
