Easter Sunday

Alleluia!  Alleluia!  Alleluia!  Jesus Christ is risen today!   Easter Sunday is the celebration of Christ's resurrection from the dead. is the beginning of the Easter season of the liturgical year.  Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the third day following his crucifixion. His resurrection marks the triumph of good over evil, sin and death.  The tomb of Christ is empty, and all rejoice.   Jesus’ disciples are called to believe what they have witnessed with their eyes we are called to believe with the eyes of faith.   As we celebrate this Easter let us remember our brothers and sisters in Sri Lanka as they mourn the loss of so many in the Church bombings that occurred there.  May there be an end to violence in all parts of our world.  May this Easter season be filled with faith, hope and love for all.
