Alleluia! Let us rejoice and be glad!


Located at the front of the Church of the
Immaculate Conception at Saint Mary-of-
the-Woods, the crucifix was sculpted by
Harry Breen of Champaign, Ill.

Once again we sing Alleluia! We feast, for the One who died lives! Beyond the spirit of this special day, is the reality that Life has overcome death. Nothing can take our joy from us … no pain, sorrow or any other affliction. This is our faith!

Christ has not only been raised; He lives among us. He resides in us. He fills Earth in all its parts. Today we share His life and love with those around us.

Throughout the Easter season, the next 50 days, let us spread joy and nurture hope in those who struggle to be joyful and hopeful.

As our intentional Lenten practices connected us more with others in need, so let us in this Easter season be a life-giving and hope-filled presence for all with whom we live, work and relate.

Christ lives! Alleluia! Alleluia!
