Alleluia!

Christ is risen. Alleluia!

His life did not end on Good Friday and the dedication and love of God for us did not end when Christ was killed on the Cross.

From the life that men thought to have removed and buried in a sepulcher, 

the incarnate and crucified Love has passed to Life. 

Holy Saturday, the day of human desolation and of God's silence, 

opens to the day of the risen Lord.

From that day on, the first day of the week is Sunday, 

the day in which we celebrate Christ’s resurrection.  

The first of all Sundays is a day born from two special nights:

the one of the Incarnation when the Word became flesh and 

the one of the Resurrection when the flesh wore eternity and 

when the tomb, void of the Body of Christ who has emptied the power of death, 

was open.

The risen Christ invites us to put our breath in tune with His, 

the immense breath of life that always unites the visible and the invisible, 

earth and sky, the Word and the flesh, 

the now and the Everlasting.

  At Easter, the first of the Lord’s days, 

God renews the world and says once more: 

“Let there be light!” 

Christ the Light of the world, the light of our life!

He makes us people of light and witnesses of the Light that gives full life.

Let us sing the many alleluias of the Easter Liturgy as a proclamation of our faith!

May all the world be able to see the light of the resurrection of Jesus, 

the real HOPE for humanity.

Blessed Easter 2025
