Apr. 19 - Holy Saturday and Easter Vigil - Reflection and Prayer by Bishop Robert F. Morneau: On the most sacred of nights, we praise God as we light our Easter candle, bless the water of baptism, and celebrate... We praise God for the renewal of our own baptism. We once again renounce sin, testify to our belief in our triune God, and reaffirm our faith in the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, and the resurrection of the body. Because of Jesus, we are promised life everlasting. We praise God for calling us to be Easter people, for calling us from darkness to light, from death to life. Our vocation is one of being Gods light and life, sharing with all we meet the graces given... In the giving of self, we experience the Lords Easter joy and peace. Prayer: Risen Lord, we praise and glorify you. You have set us free from our sins and called us to be your disciples. For that liberation we are grateful; for your call, we give you thanks. Send your Spirit to make us your Easter people.
