Today we joyfully celebrate Easter, the day of the Resurrection, which transforms despair into hope and sorrow into joy. The readings remind us of God's promise to create a new heavens and a new earth, echoing the joy of the Resurrection and the restoration it brings to creation. Just as Mary Magdalene discovered the empty tomb and encountered the risen Christ, we too are called to recognize the new life and hope that Jesus offers us, inviting us to share this incredible news with others. Let us rejoice in the mighty act of salvation that has been revealed to us, for it is through this act that we find our true identity as God's beloved children.
O Risen Lord, fill our hearts with the joy of Your resurrection. May we share the good news of Your love and salvation with all we meet. Amen.
