Easter Sunday / Domingo de Pascua

Sunday, April 24, 2011

Easter Sunday, the primary feast day for the entire Church, is especially appropriate as a People of Life, because it is the Day of the Victory of Life. The Easter Triduum should be celebrated with special care and meditation on the implications for building a Culture of Life.

An Easter Prayer for Life

Happy Easter!

We are in the season of the Resurrection, a special period of 50 Days from the Easter Vigil to Pentecost Sunday, in which the Church proclaims with particular emphasis and joy that death has been conquered and that by our baptism we have a share in the Risen Life of Christ!

This is the season of life. We therefore invite all believers to pray the “Easter Prayer for Life” each day, to counteract the most widespread and violent attack on human life in our day, which is abortion.

God bless you!
Fr. Frank Pavone

An Easter Prayer for Life
(Click here for Spanish)

Lord Jesus Christ,
You are the Author of Life,
Who died and now lives forevermore.

May we who work and pray
That children in the womb may be protected
Always draw strength, confidence, and joy
From Your victory over death,

For you are Lord forever and ever. Amen.
