Easter Message Christ Is Risen, Christ Is Truly Risen

PITTSBURGH

Ifcrica’s Oldest Catholic Newspaper in Continuous Publication

Easter Message Christ is risen, Christ is truly risen. Alleluia, Alleluia! We are aware as we celebrate Easter that this millennium is rapidly drawing to a close. The Great Jubilee awaits us as we prepare to celebrate the conclusion of the second millennium of the Christian era and enter the third. At the heart of our Christian faith is the Resurrection of Christ from the dead and His invitation that we share His new life. This year, we respond to that call by our ongoing spiritual renewal through reconciliation in the sacrament of penance. It is in this sacrament of forgiveness that we find the mercy of God won for us on the cross and confirmed in the Resurrection. As we thank God for both the gift of new life and the gracious call to continual renewal, let us rejoice this Easter confident in our faith that Christ is truly risen from the dead and that in Him, we have the pledge of merciful redemption and life everlasting.

Faithfully in Christ
