Alleluia, alleluia!
This is the day the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad.
Alleluia!
Today's Gospel Acclamation encapsulates the joy of Easter. The only sensible response to the Good News that Christ is risen is joy and gladness.
Today is Easter Saturday, day seven of the Easter Octave. Easter is so big that the Church has made Easter Sunday last eight days. Eight days of long faces stuck in Lent? No! Eight days of riotous joy.
That's the Church I love.
Alleluia, Christ is risen!
He's risen indeed, alleluia, alleluia!
