Alleluia

Today’s Gospel reading: John 20:1-9

Join your parish family in the brightness of Easter Sunday’s light to celebrate the Lord’s Resurrection! For everything that is different about the previous Holy Week and Triduum liturgies, Easter Sunday will be refreshingly familiar. But we do renew our baptismal promises with the newly blessed baptismal waters.

The Sacred Paschal Triduum closes at sundown today, with Evening Prayer. Take a look back across these three days.

  • Where did you meet Jesus?

  • What did the Spirit reveal to you in all the symbols of Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday?

  • How will you share the good news of Jesus’ resurrection and the new life you have? Who will be the first person you tell?

  • Learn and teach the ancient Greek Paschal Greeting:

Χριστὸς ἀνέστη! (Christos anesti!)

Ἀληθῶς ἀνέστη! (Alithos anesti!)

Is that Greek to you?

Greeting: Christ is Risen!

Response: He is Risen, indeed!

Use this before meals or at parish or family events throughout the Easter season!
