We gather this night to rejoice in Jesus Christ, the light of the World, the One whom no darkness can overcome, the One death cannot destroy. “Exult, let them exult!” We hear these words at the beginning of the Exsultet, The Easter Proclamation, as we trace God’s saving action throughout history. Christ is risen from the dead and light banishes all traces of darkness.
The Easter Vigil liturgy is rich with symbol and ritual, and the Scripture readings connect us to our ancestors in faith, living the very same hope that we live today.
Tonight we celebrate the reception of our catechumenates into full communion with the Church and welcome them as members of our faith community.
