EASTER ~ THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD
The triumph of Christ over death is a cause of joy for all who believe.
The Easter season is "the most joyous time in the Church's year." Today, and for the next fifty days, we will celebrate and rejoice in the triumph of Christ over the power of death. We live in the hope that we, too, will pass through the gates of death and rise to eternal life. We sing "Alleluia" for we are Easter people.
