  • Scripture from the Resurrection narratives in the Gospels & Acts of the Apostles
  • a reflection on Scripture for our lives today
  • daily prayer & simple, creative practices to live out Easter’s joy in your everyday life

Living Easter invites you to embrace the Resurrection as a living reality, guiding you through fifty days of Scripture, reflection, prayer, and action. With warmth and joy, Fanucci shows how to celebrate Easter as a daily practice of joy with this simple, easy-to-follow daily companion.
