The celebration has just begun! This week we are filled with overwhelming elation and awe after hearing of the Resurrection of Our Lord. Jesus has transformed sadness into joy, darkness into light, and suffering into triumph. Filled with renewed spirit, we continue the Easter season, lifted up in joy, and always with the promise of eternal peace. Pledge to make the flame we lit at Easter continue to burn brightly; to embrace this season as an opportunity to make permanent changes in your life; to make prayer, penance, and almsgiving not just a Lenten experience but a life-long commitment to Jesus, the One who rose from the dead and gives us new life and invites us to be His light in the world.
