These 5 minute daily podcasts were intended to give you a small boost every day and a little insight into Easter and its Octave.
Today is Sunday “in albis“, the Octave of Easter, Divine Mercy Sunday.
Happy Easter to all!
The Roman Station is St. Pancras. The custom of Roman Stations continued through the Octave of Easter. The titular cardinal is Antonio Cañizares Llovera, Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship.

Happy Easter Father, and thank you for all your podcazts over Lent and Easter. I have listened to them all. I particularly enjoyed hearing the new Mass prayers and the musical selection.
Thank you, Fr. Z., for all of these Lent and Paschalcazts. I’ve listened and learned much from each one. They, along with your other posts, have helped me make a better Lent for sure. Blessed, Happy Easter!
