Easter Sunday - 2026, This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Easter shows that death does not have the last word in our life, but that the risen Christ, the Word of God calls us home to the Father’s House. Once again, we sing ‘Alleluia’, our song of joy and victory in the marvels that the Lord has worked for us. The Christian Life, its liturgy and mission is a procession reaching the gates of holiness. May the ‘just’ enter and gives thanks to God for being found worthy to be in His presence and minister to him! Filled with paschal gladness, we offer the sacrifice of Christ, by which the Church is wondrously reborn and nourished each and every Sunday, which is always the celebration of the Resurrection.

Easter compels us to announce the gospel to all people regardless of their social class, race, sex or education – all that matters is their generous response, for it is the quality of our faith, hope and love that will be assessed when we are brought before the judgement seat of God to render account of our lives – of our thoughts, words, deeds and omissions. May our lives, therefore, always radiate our joy of the gospel and our hope in eternal life. Alleluia!

Easter Sunday Evening: At the 5pm Mass, the gospel is the ‘Road to Emmaus’, and the account of the Eucharist that Jesus celebrates with two of his disciples on the evening of Easter Day. This is not printed on your ‘Mass sheets’ which are a liturgical aid, not the definitive script for the celebration of Holy Mass.
