Rejoice and be Glad!

Gospel Acclamation 

Alleluia, alleluia! This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad. Alleluia!

Ps117:24 

The cry of Easter joy continues to reverberate throughout the Universal Church. Rejoice and be glad! Christ is Risen!

Here we are at day seven of the Easter Octave and the Church continues to be bedazzled by the resurrection. The one great day is celebrated over eight with the Gospel Acclamation being repeated again and again and again. Rejoice and be glad!

We are Easter people and this anthem of joy is ours to cry out not just over the Easter season but every day from now until we meet him face to face.

Alleluia Alleluia, Christ is Risen.
He has risen indeed, Alleluia!

Saint Philip Neri, patron saint of joy, pray for us.
