Question: Why is the Easter season so long? And should we be doing something special for it?  Answer: You’ve probably noticed the priest continuing to wear white vestments at the Sunday liturgy. While we celebrated Christ’s resurrection several weeks ago, the Easter season extends fifty days — just over seven weeks — from Easter Sunday to Pentecost. For most of that time — about six weeks — Jesus is still with the disciples, teaching and encouraging them. The Easter season isn’t just a celebration of when Jesus is with us. At the Last Supper, Jesus promised to send an “advocate” or “counselor” when he left. At the Ascension, he directs the disciples to await “power from on high” — the coming of the Holy Spirit. The Ascension completes the Paschal Mystery, beginning with Jesus’ suffering and death and continuing in the resurrection. But the Holy Spirit ushers in a new era for the Church.

About God’s Infinite Mercy Excerpted from the USCCB website: By the age of 45, as many as 1 in 4 women have had an abortion, and a similar number of men and family members have been involved. Those who have participated in abortion suffer guilt, grief, and regret—often in silence—wrongly believing abortion to be “the unforgivable sin” and fearing they are beyond God’s mercy. May they learn of his healing power! Prayer from a 40 Days for Life daily update: God, we ask that those who have participated in abortion will know that your mercy does not expire. Help us to forgive as you do so that others might come to understand the dignity of every human life, including their own.  Convert the hearts of abortionists. May they experience your forgiveness as so many others have. Amen.   REGISTER NOW! The Annual RI Right to Life Ancora Banquet is Wednesday, May 13, 2026, at 6 pm. It will be held at the Crowne Plaza in Warwick and the nationally known keynote speaker is Mayra Rodriguez. Register online at ancorabanquet.com.
