"Yes, Christ my hope is arisen... Amen. Alleluia."

[MariaChristi]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

How Great and Glorious is our God! How lovingly He has saved us and calls us home to Himself! Let us rejoice with Mary and all the saints!

Sequence - Victimae Paschali Laudes

Christians, to the Paschal Victim
Offer your thankful praises!
A Lamb the sheep redeems;
Christ, who only is sinless,
Reconciles sinners to the Father.
Death and life have contended in that combat stupendous:
The Prince of life, who died, reigns immortal.
Speak, Mary, declaring
What you saw, wayfaring.
“The tomb of Christ, who is living,
The glory of Jesus’ resurrection;
bright angels attesting,
The shroud and napkin resting.
Yes, Christ my hope is arisen;
to Galilee he goes before you.”
Christ indeed from death is risen, our new life obtaining.
Have mercy, victor King, ever reigning!
Amen. Alleluia.

Those of us who have renewed our Baptismal promises and our total Consecration to Jesus through Mary on March 25, Good Friday, are invited again to renew their Baptism on this Feast of the Resurrection. May our “new life” obtained for us by Christ’s death be truly a life in Him. We have been born again to live His Life.

Mary, our Mother and Model, intercede for us.
Come Holy Spirit kindle in us the Fire of Your Love.
Jesus, we trust in You!
