This is the day of universal hope. The day on which there gather about the Risen One, and join with him, all human sufferings, disappointments, humiliations, crosses, human dignity violated, human life not respected, oppression, repression, all the things that cry aloud: Victimae paschali laudes immolent Christiani – To the paschal victim let there rise today the sacrifice of praise!”
John Paul II Easter 1979
As we live the mystery of the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ,
let us thank Him for the gift of redemption.
May great joy enter our hearts, because He has given us new life,
and may His mercy triumph in our daily lives.
