Wonder and awe fill today's Mass prayers and readings. We are given the "water of wisdom to drink"; the Jewish people are "cut to the heart" by Peter's words on Pentecost; the Psalmist repeats his praise of the Lord over and over again, and we feel Mary Magdalene's anguish and then her dawning joy at the sight of Jesus and His pronouncing her name: "Mary!" Imagine the glorified Lord calling one's name. Today the Optional Memorial of St. Francis of Paola is superseded by the Easter Octave Solemnity.
