Tuesday thoughts --- 14 April 2020 --- Tuesday of "Bright Week"

Jesus our Healer, have mercy on us!
O Divine Physician, come to our aid!

Today is the Tuesday of Holy Week, which is also called "Bright Week" in some Christian traditions. It's worth remembering and celebrating because Easter is a season and not just one day. Lent is forty days long and the Easter season is fifty days! (It ends with either Ascension Thursday or Pentecost Sunday; you're free to choose either as far as I'm concerned.) This can go even further because each Sunday is a little Easter! Each Sunday we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus and his presence in each of us, in the Church, and in the whole of creation. Christ is risen and remains among us!
