The Third Sunday after Easter, known as Jubilate, blends joy with trial in the Tridentine Rite. Its Gospel reflects on Christ's temporary absence and resurrection, while the Epistle encourages believers to live as "strangers," enduring suffering. The liturgy focuses on transforming sorrow into joy and highlights the Church's faith journey.

The Feast of the Invention of the Holy Cross on 1 May commemorates Saint Helena's discovery of the True Cross, intertwining it with the Paschal mystery. The Mass celebrates the Cross's significance as a symbol of redemption, linking Christ's victory over sin and the faithful's journey in grace and obedience during Paschaltide.

The Feast of Saint Antoninus, Bishop and Confessor, celebrates his legacy as a learned Dominican friar and Archbishop of Florence, known for his moral teachings and pastoral care. It coincides with the Fifth Sunday after Easter, emphasising prayer and trust in God, while promoting the faithful’s commitment to action and purity.

The Feast of the Ascension, celebrated forty days after Easter, commemorates Christ's return to the Father, as described in Acts 1:1–11. It highlights His role as High Priest and calls the faithful to seek heavenly aspirations. The liturgy balances joy and longing, anticipating the Holy Ghost at Pentecost.
