4Apr26 (26EasterVigil) At the Easter Vigil we proclaim the Resurrection: Christ is risen and the tomb is empty. In a world often filled with despair, Christianity gives us hope because light cannot be conquered by darkness. The Paschal candle reminds us that even a single flame can illuminate the night. Because Jesus truly rose from the dead, we know that suffering and evil do not have the final word. Christ shares His light with us in baptism so that we may carry hope into a world that desperately needs it.
