Taste the Joy of Easter: Fifty Movements for Life

Eastertide is the 50-day period between the celebration of the Resurrection of Christ to the Feast of Pentecost. It is a period in which we taste the joy of Easter in a way that leads to an ever-greater appreciation of God's gift to us of life and freedom. It is a therapeutic time during which past hurts are healed in the light of the resurrection and we find unexpected resources that enable us to draw renewed hope for what lies ahead. Laying aside all that stands in the way of the fullness of life, we take stock during these days after Easter of our God-given potential for greater growth and happiness. In this brief book, the author provides daily meditations on the Easter Gospels for each week, and by selecting a figure or symbol shows its relevance for our own lives. Each image thus lets the mystery of the Resurrection appear in a different light and points us in the direction of living the Gospel with ever greater intensity and depth.
