(Scenes from the Chrism Mass at the Cathedral earlier this week, when the holy oils were blessed for use throughout the Archdiocese of Louisville.)
Alleluia! Christ is Risen!
The Triduum is completed and we have celebrated what St. Augustine called the "Mother of all great vigils" where more than 500 new Catholics were welcomed home into the Body of Christ within the Archdiocese of Louisville. We now sing again the great "alleluia" which we have missed during Lent, proclaiming with joy that Christ has conquered death forever. As we celebrate these 50 days of gladness, may we remember all those who stand in need of our prayers and of Christ's presence amidst their suffering. To those who are hungry or homeless, sorrowing or fearful, we announce the good news - Christ is Risen! - with our hands and hearts extended in love. Blessings to you and yours in this holy and festive season of new life.
