The Meaning of Easter: A Celebration of Faith and New Life
IMAGE TEXT

Bishop Luis tells us that when we experience God's mercy, we experience both life and love—the essence of Easter. Through Jesus' conquest of sin and death, we are called to celebrate with Him and discover better ways to live our faith daily.

The Eucharist serves as a special gift that brings us closer to Christ. In this sacred celebration, we taste the greatness of life and the beauty of our faith. Jesus himself gives us life and invites us to be with Him, setting an example for us to follow.

Easter calls us to remove what obscures our vision so we may fully embrace this joyful celebration of life and find renewed reasons to celebrate the gift of who we are and the gift of our faith. As we commemorate this holy time, we are reminded that Easter invites us to experience the beautiful journey of walking with Jesus toward the newness of life.
