Exodus 90's Easter 50 Challenge

Dates: Easter 50 begins on Easter Sunday

Scripture: Deuteronomy

Spiritual Guide: Fr. Gregory Pine, OP

Jesus completes our Exodus out of slavery in sin and death through the triumph of his Resurrection. He calls us to live differently, building new habits of freedom that express the fruits of his victory, which he gave us at Baptism. Through our communion with him, our lives should be different from the world, marked by greater hope and joy because we know that we have passed from death into life in him. After the Resurrection, Jesus entrusted his disciples with the mission to bring the Good News of Salvation to all the nations. Every member of his Body, the Church, continues this mission in his own way.

This Easter season, we can embrace the mission God has given to us, meditating on how God teaches us to live in his freedom. We will do this by reading the Book of Deuteronomy, following Moses’s instructions to the Israelites on how to live when they enter the Promised Land. We will see how Jesus perfects this teaching by deepening our understanding of the commandments through the gift of the Holy Spirit, who moves us to act from within through the love of God. Our daily prayer will enable us to discern how we can carry out our personal mission to follow God’s will in the world, sharing his gift of salvation with others.

In order to express the new life won for us by Jesus and our own mission to share it, we will both celebrate and continue to grow. First, as a fraternity, we will celebrate throughout the Easter season, making acts of uncommon leisure through festivity and recreation, gathering to express Easter joy. Second, we will focus on building a new habit to express the life given to us by the Resurrection. As we renew the gift and promise of our baptism, we will seek to live it out even more fully. At the end of the Easter season, we will be able to say that we made the most of this glorious season by embracing its celebratory character and drawing upon its power to live differently.

The team at Exodus 90 has purposefully crafted spiritual exercises that coincide with the liturgical calendar and help men live uncommon freedom throughout the year. Learn more about the Seasonal Exercises.

A man should make an Exodus because the Lord is calling him to uncommon freedom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Protestants do Easter 50?

Yes. All our programs are spiritual exercises for men based on prayer, asceticism, and fraternity and rooted in the traditions of the early Church. All men are welcome. More and more Protestant, Evangelical, and other non-Catholic, Christian participants continue to find the spiritual exercise to be very fruitful for their freedom and relationship with Christ every year.


Is this an addiction or recovery program?

Exodus 90 is not an addiction or recovery program. It is a lifestyle that orients us toward the uncommon freedom that the Lord gives us when we become who we truly are. It's an opportunity to conform one's whole life to that of Christ and become the renewal in the Church. This will inevitably bring forth abundant graces and greater freedom.

The Lord can do anything: he has used Exodus 90 to bring forth the grace of complete freedom to men who have been struggling with addictions for decades. Exodus 90 helps dispose us to accept the grace and freedom God wants to give us.

We highly recommend that those struggling with an addiction get the help they need from a licensed therapist. Check out CatholicTherapists.com.
