Easter Sunday: All Is Joy

Women at the Tomb

Maurice Denis. Holy Women Near the Tomb/Saintes Femmes au tombeau. 1894
RAISED FROM THE DEAD
This is the great truth which fills our faith with meaning. Jesus, who died on the cross, has risen. He has triumphed over death; he has overcome sorrow, anguish and the power of darkness ... In him we find everything. Outside of him our life is empty (J. Escriva, Christ is passing by).
In Conversation With God: Lent and Eastertide

HE IS RISEN! ALLELUIA!

After the somber tone and reflection of Holy Thursday and Good Friday I can hardly wait to get to Mass this morning to hear the joy and triumph of our Easter celebration. May you all have the same delight and joy in your Easter celebrations both in church and at home.
