"It's not too late."
If you've ever reached the final stretch of Lent feeling weary, distracted, or spiritually flat, this book is for you.
In 9 Days to Easter Joy, Fr. Rich Conlin invites you on a deeply personal journey through Holy Week and the Easter Octave-- leading you from discouragement and darkness to the radiant joy and transformative love of the Resurrection. This book is for anyone longing to be fought for, rescued, forgiven, and filled with joy -- to know personally that the Risen Lord is still moving powerfully in your life.
In the nine days leading up to Easter, you'll encounter Jesus in a new way each day: as the Warrior who fights for you, the King who reigns in love, the Servant who washes your feet -- and so much more.
But the journey doesn't end there.
Most devotionals end on Easter Sunday -- but this one continues. It walks with you for eight more days, through the full Easter Octave, so you won't just arrive at Easter: You will learn to truly live it -- with resurrection power and radiant joy.
Each day includes a short, heartfelt meditation rooted in Scripture and the Church's liturgy, a simple invitation to act, and a concluding prayer for Easter joy.
This isn't just a devotional.
It's an encounter with the living Christ, who fights for you personally, declares that you are worth rescuing, invites you into a joy you cannot manufacture, and sends you to carry that joy into a world that thinks He's still dead.
Why read 9 Days to Easter Joy? Because Easter is more than just a special day highlighted on your calendar -- it's the unstoppable life of Christ now blazing through your own.

The Easter story is one of the most important parts of the Catholic faith because it tells us about Jesus' great love for us and how He saved us from our sins. For Catholic children, understanding the Easter story helps them see how much Jesus cares for them and how special His gift of eternal life is. The Easter story begins with Holy Week, which includes Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, and Good Friday. On Palm Sunday, we remember how Jesus was welcomed into Jerusalem. Then, on Holy Thursday, we learn about the Last Supper, where Jesus gave us the gift of the Eucharist. Good Friday is a sad day because it's when Jesus was crucified and died on the cross to take away our sins. This shows just how much He loves us--He was willing to suffer and die for us. But the story doesn't end there! Three days later, on Easter Sunday, Jesus rose from the dead in the Resurrection. This is what makes Easter such a joyful celebration. Jesus' Resurrection means that death is not the end and that we can live forever with Him in heaven if we follow His teachings and live good lives.
For Catholic children, the Easter story is important because it teaches them about hope, love, and forgiveness. It reminds them that no matter how hard things get, Jesus is always with them, and His love is stronger than anything, even death. Easter is the celebration of new life in Jesus, and it fills our hearts with joy and faith in His promises. Topics and events covered in this title include:
At a time when the profound significance of Easter is often overshadowed by commercialism, The Story of the First Easter Bunny is a refreshing and heartwarming reminder of the true meaning of this most holy of Christian holidays.
Best-selling author Anthony DeStefano tells the tale of a pint-size bunny with enormous ears who seeks healing for his sick mother by searching for Jesus and listening to His words. The bunny shows courage and compassion on his selfless journey. When all seems dark and he is afraid, the bunny remembers Christ's words and takes refuge in God's promise by calmly waiting for the light.
After the bunny witnesses the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection, he and his mother experience a life-changing miracle, and the bunny goes on to spread the message of salvation to all who will listen. His inspiring example is a reminder to readers -- both the young and the young at heart -- that God's love is ever present and that when we trust Him with the confidence of a child, we find redemption, fulfillment, and lasting joy.
This instant classic, told in charming rhyming verse and wonderfully illustrated by New York Times best-selling artist Richard Cowdrey, adopts the Easter Bunny as a symbol of hope in the Risen Lord, of the transformative power of faith, and of the reality of Heaven. It offers an inspiring alternative to our culture's obsession with chocolate treats, dyed eggs, and cartoon characters of little substance.
The moving tale of this endearing bunny who refused to give up hope will fill your heart with a song of praise and be a favorite in your home, classroom, and church for years to come.
