Easter: From Fast to Feast

Now that we are in the Octave of Easter, J.D. and Fr. Barry discuss how we should move from the Fast of Lent to the Feast of Eastertide. Is this an excuse to eat a whole bag of jellybeans?

In this episode we'll dive into:

• What is the Easter Octave and why is it like a bell?
• Fasting vs. Feasting
• Why does Easter occur when it does on the calendar? Can we move it next year?
• How Easter compares to a wedding or ordination celebration
• What is the best way to Feast
• Calendaring in time for God, including making a "lunchtime lexio"
• What is it like to receive "priest feedback?"
• JD and Fr. Barry offer their spiritual book recommendations for this season: Life of Christ by Archbishop Fulton J Sheen The Anxious Perfectionist Imitation of Christ by Thomas a'Kempis The Great Divorce by CS Lewis Jesus, I Trust in You | 30-Day Litany
