Pop-Up Catechesis with Joe Paprocki

When it comes to the 40 days of Lent, most of us have an idea of what to do during this season: pray, fast, and give alms. But what about the 50 days of Easter? What do we do during the Easter season to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus? Of course we continue to pray, and almsgiving is always in season. Instead of fasting, we feast (not to be confused with gluttonous behavior). But what else do we do to enter more deeply into this joyous season? In this episode of Pop-Up Catechesis, we explore how we need to keep Christ in Easter (similar to the message of, “Keep Christ in Christmas” that we heard a few months ago).

Your science teacher or me?” They looked even more uncomfortable. Before anyone could attempt to answer, I said, “OK, that […]
