New Life in Christ

Easter Candle,
standing tall and brightly aflame,
be an abiding presence of the Easter Fire
that banishes the darkness of death.

Baptismal vault
of our death and burial with Christ,
let each Easter be a sunrise anticipation
of our own resurrection.

A Blessed and Joyous Easter Feast!


Easter's Glorious Liberation

Easter’s sunrise shatters tombstones,
declaring the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
and also that of all our beloved dead,
who join us in joyful celebration
of this Sacred Feast of Limitless Life.

May you joyously celebrate
the sunrise victory of Easter,
in whose glorious light
God infallibly revealed
our final achievement,
our own Resurrection.

Happy Easter Sunday
and a
Joyful Easter Season!

Death's Defeat at Dawn

Easter’s empty tomb
confirms in splendor
an eternally new day
overflowing with
the Promise of the Resurrection
for all who follow Christ
through the mystery of death.


Easter Alleluia Eggs

May Easter Eggs,
ancient signs of new life,
be Resurrection Icons
singing for you
and those you love
the eternal Springtide Song:

“Alleluia, Christ is Risen!”

A Blessed and Happy Easter!

The Paschal Pentecost

May you be inspired to live out
the fulfillment of the Easter Mystery
—the giving of the Spirit of God--
as you joyfully celebrate
the Fifty Jubilee Days of Easter.

Each time you see the dancing flame
atop the tall, white Paschal Candle,
may it enkindle within you
the fire to go forth with Pentecostal zeal,
aflame with the Spirit of Love.

A Blessed and Joyous Fifty Days of Easter!
