Today, we celebrate the fullness of the Paschal Mystery, remembering that Jesus, Our Lord and Savior, is the conqueror of death. Sin and its consequences, which arise from our turning away from God’s love and mercy, hold no power over us. Jesus desires to roll away the stone of our own tombs, if only we seek the risen Christ.
We also reflect on the mystery of the Paschal Candle — the same candle lit during our baptism, marking our rebirth as new creations in Christ Jesus. Our original sin was washed away, and we are called to live as children of the light. Today, we remember that we are an Easter people!
Jesus Christ is Risen Today – Rejoice and be Glad!
