The Resurrection of Our Lord

The Resurrection of Our Lord proclaims Christ’s victory over sin, death, and the grave. On the third day, the tomb was found empty, and the angel announced that Jesus had risen, just as He said (Mark 16:1–8). This feast stands at the center of the Church’s confession, declaring that Christ is our Passover who has been sacrificed and raised for us (1 Corinthians 5:7–8). The Resurrection assures believers that death has been defeated, and our own resurrection and eternal life have been secured in Christ.

The risen Christ calls us from fear into faith and from death into life. As the Church rejoices in His victory, may this feast renew our hope, strengthen our trust in God’s promises, and fill us with joy that Christ lives and reigns forever.
