Pope prays that Easter joy would break through gloom of sin, war, strife
On a bright spring morning, Pope Francis prayed that Christians would experience the joy of Easter and allow Christ's resurrection to be "the light that illumines the darkness and the gloom in which, all too often, our world finds itself enveloped."
Empty spaces
It’s always struck me as odd that we begin Easter, the feast of the Resurrection, the most significant holy day of the Christian calendar, with an empty space.
Christ's resurrection brings hope amid 'Easter of war,' pope says
The joy of Christ's resurrection is needed now more than ever in a time when war in Ukraine and other parts of the world makes the hope for peace seem like an illusion, Pope Francis said before giving his Easter blessing.
Easter: Our homecoming
It is quite remarkable that none of the stories of the resurrection of Jesus actually recount his coming out of the tomb and how he was raised by God from the dead. Instead, all the accounts are about what happened to his disciples. This was an event that created in them a sense of belonging and the awareness that instead of living for themselves, they were being called to a mission that would change the course of history.

Season of Easter: What will we sing in heaven?
There is good reason that we Catholics especially love our church’s customs during Lent and Easter. These seasons intensify the fundamental movement of our faith: the movement from slavery to freedom, the movement from death to eternal life that Jesus Christ alone can bring.
Christ's victory over death proclaims a second chance for all, pope says
The Easter liturgies -- with the fire, sharing of light from the paschal candle, the renewal of baptismal promises and the proclamation that Jesus has risen -- assure people that it is never too late to start again, Pope Francis said.
Teens from Western Springs spreading Easter joy to underserved
The spirit of Easter visited St. John of the Cross Parish in Western Springs a little early when on March 14 teens in the parish youth ministry program assembled Easter baskets to be delivered to children in underserved communities.
