"Easter is the feast of the new creation. Jesus is risen and dies no more. He has opened the door to a new life, one that no longer knows illness and death. He has taken mankind up into God himself...
"With the resurrection of Jesus, light itself is created anew. He draws all of us after him into the new light of the resurrection and he conquers all darkness. He is God’s new day, new for all of us...
"Let us pray to the Lord…that he may grant us to experience the joy of his light; let us pray that we ourselves may become bearers of his light, and that through the Church, Christ’s radiant face may enter our world."
~Pope Benedict XVI, 2012 Easter Vigil Homily
For with thee is the fountain of life;
and in thy light we shall see light.
~Psalm 36:9
and in thy light we shall see light.
~Psalm 36:9
