Christ is risen! Throughout the season of Easter, in the prayers of the Liturgy and in the Word of God proclaimed in our midst, we will hear and celebrate the themes of passing from death to life, from darkness to light, from blindness to sight, and from alienation to restoration. Christ is risen from the dead and, with Him, we are offered the hope of resurrection, new life and new hope.
