Gospel Acclamation: Alleluia, alleluia! Christ , our Passover has been sacrificed ; let us celebrate the feast then, in the Lord. Alleluia! Sequence
Christians, to the Paschal Victim offer Sacrifice and praise; the sheep are ransomed by the lamb; and Christ the undefiled, hath sinners reconciled. Death with life contended: combat strangely ended! Life’s own Champion slain, yet lives to reign. Tell us Mary: say what thou didst see upon the way. The tomb the Living did enclose; I saw Christ’s glory as he rose! The angels were attesting; shroud with grave-clothes resting. Christ my hope, has risen: he goes before you into Galilee. That Christ is truly risen from the dead we know. Victorious King, thy mercy show!

FAITH IN FOCUS:
SOMETHING
W
TO SING ABOUT
henever Christians celebrate liturgy they do more than merely remember the past; they make its effects really present and active here and now through the power of the Holy Spirit. So when we celebrate the Eucharist we make Christ really present in word and sacrament within this very act of worship. And on the Easter feast we actuate, make effectively present, the saving act of Jesus who conquered sin and rose from the dead to fullness of life. Easter is about celebration and it is yours for the feasting!

t’s impossible to do justice to the feast of Easter. It’s the day that all of history converged upon from the beginning of time and the day from which our lives take their ultimate meaning. At Easter, God in Jesus Christ radically transformed our lives, so that we are no longer held in the

at its roots, where we feel most vulnerable and susceptible. Easter is the victory-feast of God who has taken on darkness and shattered it with his light. It’s the victory-feast of God who has shown evil to be ultimately powerless when confronted by his might and who has laughed in the face of death. Easter is about redemption and it’s yours for the taking! o Easter explodes with praise and rejoicing and its keyword is “Alleluia”! Our songs, hymns, psalms and prayers proclaim that all those things which would seek to drag us down, to frighten us and to hold us in their power have been defeated by the infinite strength of a loving God who made us to enjoy fullness of life and who has redeemed us for eternity by rising from the dead. Easter is about song and it’s yours for the singing!

Thank you
O Christ Jesus, when all is darkness and we feel our weakness and helplessness, give us the sense of your presence, your love, and your strength. Help us to have perfect trust in your protecting love and strengthening power, so that nothing may frighten or worry us, for, living close to you, we shall see your hand, your purpose and your will through all things. Amen. (Saint Ignatius Loyola) Easter is not a time for groping through dusty tomes or musty tombs to quell the godless claims of those who scoff or even to prove life eternal. It is a day to fan the ashes of dead hope, a day to banish doubts and seek the slopes where the Sun of Justice is rising, to revel in our Christian faith which transports us out of ourselves and the dead past into God’s vast and inviting unknown. (Quentin de Sautwort)
