What it means to be Easter people

from Novena Preaching @ Novena Church · host Novena Church

As we move into the Easter octave, we reflect on the meaning of Easter and being Easter people. The corresponding readings of the Easter Octave show how various people respond to the reality of the passion, death and resurrection of Christ. The chief priests responded negatively by trying to cover up the resurrection as fake, the disciples didn’t understand and were confused, but later encountered Jesus and with his explanation, finally understood. How do we receive the Holy Spirit and became Easter people? We bear good news and being light to world.The Divine Mercy Sunday was instituted by Pope John Paul II. One of effects of resurrection is that God’s mercy is to be spread to rest of the world. It offers a concrete promise of hope, and this is an invitation for us to understand what God’s mercy is all about, and to share this mercy with rest of world. It is a call to action, not just prayer alone.- Saturday Novena Devotion by Fr. Terence Wee, C.Ss.R. (11 April 2026)
