Alleluia! Christ is Risen! In this expansive Easter homily, Fr. Greg Heilig OP connects the liturgical celebrations of Easter with the joyful response of all creation. From the Easter Vigil candle wax ("work of bees") praised in the Exultet, to a personal memory of frogs singing at the Easter fire, Fr. Greg highlights how nature itself proclaims the Risen Lord.
Explore the depth of the Easter celebration:
- The eight-day Easter Octave, filled with Resurrection accounts from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
- The meaning behind the Easter candle light, shared but never dimmed.
- The call to belief and new life found in the Scriptures (John 20:31).
- The joyful proclamation of the Easter Sequence.
Join the Dominican Friars in celebrating this great feast! May you know the fulfillment of God's promise as you celebrate with liturgy, community, feasting, and song. Happy Easter!
