Following the healing of a crippled man, Peter speaks to the crowd and redirects their attention to Jesus and his redeeming work in salvation history. By shining the light on the Lord, we recognize that we are part of God’s great love story, inspired each day to draw closer to Christ.
Peter’s response to the question, “What are we to do?” inspires us to embrace the daily call to conversion of heart as we repent of our sins and draw strength from the Holy Spirit.
There is an intensity in Mary Magdalene, Peter, and John as they run to discover what happened in the early morning hours of the resurrection. As events unfold they will rejoice with exultant faith that Jesus Christ is the Risen Lord!
As we hear the great proclamation of salvation history through the readings of this Easter Vigil, we wait upon the Lord with renewed hope and strength: Christ is alive!
We stand before the Cross of Christ and acknowledge the darkness in our hearts. This is what inspired the love of God the Father to send his Son, to shine with heavenly light upon our world and free us from our sins.
We celebrate the gift of the Eucharist that gives us strength to serve the Lord and one another. May the Body of Christ renew our bodies and transform our lives each and every day.
