“Christ is Risen, Alleluia!
He is Risen Indeed, Alleluia, Alleluia!”.

With these joyous words, Christians have greeted one another on Easter Day for more than two thousand years. Every Easter, the words proclaim anew our faith and hope in the Good News of God's love for humankind.

Mass on Easter Day is the most splendid and exuberant celebration of the Church. The Resurrection of Christ is the heart and soul of our Catholic faith. As St. Paul said, “If Christ be not risen, your faith is in vain.” (I Cor. 15:14, 17) Thus, Easter is the pinnacle of all feasts of the Church year beginning with Advent. The culmination of the entire liturgy is the Easter feast.

Easter is the gift of HOPE. Easter is the gift of PEACE. Easter is the gift of LOVE. Let us rejoice in Jesus Christ, who gives them all.
