EASTER DAY
April 9, 2023
AS WE GATHER
Alleluia! Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! Thus, the whole Church proclaims on this, the Queen of Feasts, the Resurrection of Our Lord. This is the day of days; the day when light overcame the darkness; the day when our ancient foe was defeated; the day when sin was destroyed; and Christ our Lord burst the bonds of death asunder. Alleluia! Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
