Easter is the highest and holiest day of the Church. Today we celebrate our Lord's victory over sin and death--a victory He willingly shares with all who will receive it. Today also begins the liturgical season of Easter which continues until Pentecost.

Readings:

Acts 10:34, 37-43
Psalm 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23
Colossians 3:1-4
