Easter Vigil

1037 Words5 Pages

For Easter Vigil this year I had the opportunity to attend Saint Rose Catholic Church on April 15 with my roommate Javier Guerra. The church is located in his hometown Great Bend Kansas. For me, it was the first time in quite a bit that I have attended an Easter Vigil at a catholic church. I usually go to a different type of Easter service with my mother at her church. Great Bend is a very small town and a lot of Javier’s friends and family were all there in attendance, which really made me feel like I was at home. I would say that most people there in Great Bend are religious. Overall the experience was very peaceful and reminded me of the atmosphere I feel when I am home.

The book also mentions how celebrations allow us to learn from others and from the men and women of the past whose insights are embedded in the traditional elements of celebrating (Cooke pg41). The liturgy for certain from the beginning readings was focused on remembering what the Lord started and throughout remembering the different events that changed the world. Also, the whole service was a celebration for certain, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. As the book mentions the men and women of the past it made me realize that for centuries people have been celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The role of the priest was there to be our guide, he spoke of how people celebrate all over the world and how the world is most united during the Easter Vigil. The women that were there were more in roles as helpers and not as main roles. The liturgy I felt impacts more people of older age rather than children but the priest did make it relatable at times for the children. However, I do believe that the overall liturgy is meant to impact the adults and make them realize, this celebration is more than just the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and it’s the remembrance of his sacrifices for us without asking anything in

    It was tough growing up Vietnamese-American, because there weren 't many of them at my school. Finding friends was grueling because there was no one I have in common with. People gave me odd looks at lunch too, since I pray and make the sign of the cross before every meal; thus, made school difficult because people couldn 't accept who I am and prevent me from expressing my freedom of religion.  That is, until I joined the Vietnamese Eucharistic Youth Movement.

    Sister Lucy Poulin once said, “We try to be a welcoming community for people who are left out in our society. We help people heal and become who God is calling them to be” (The Emily Fund, n.d.). In the case of Columbus, Indiana, members of the community do not always use God in such a positive way. Columbus is definitely a close knit community, but not always a welcoming one. There are two kinds of close knit communities; there is the kind that is closely knit by the members’ ability to be neighborly to everyone, and there is the kind that is so closely knit that it is does not allow any room for outsiders.

    The meaning of Easter is Jesus Christ’s victory over death. His resurrection symbolizes the eternal life that is granted to all who believe in Him. The meaning of Easter also symbolizes the complete verification of all that Jesus preached and taught during His three-year ministry. If He had not risen from the dead, if He had merely died and not been resurrected, He would have been considered just another teacher or Rabbi. However, His resurrection changed all that and gave final and irrefutable proof that He was really the Son of God and that He had conquered death once and for
