HE IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD  Reserrexit sicut dixit  …….

In some parts of the Christian world, this is still the way that believers greet each other. He is Risen from the Dead – these words pass from mouth to mouth and they are joyous words in the measure that we have sought to be with Jesus in his Passion and Death. Even if we just say Happy Easter we can feel Our Lord’s joy at being raised from the dead – but try to say ‘He is Risen’ – three words which  encapsulate our faith, our hope and our love for the Lord and each other.

The Church keeps the week after Easter as a special octave of Masses and prayers. If you are able to, especially if you are on holiday, try to come to an extra Mass during Easter week. He is Risen Alleluia !
