Christ is Risen, Alleluia! 🙏🙏🙏 ‘Today, this (dawning) Day, calls us to a new way of living, in the light of the Resurrection.’ —Archbishop Peter A Comensoli (Homily, Easter Vigil in the Night)

‘Our Saviour – condemned, broken down, and then lifted up on a cross – is indeed astonishing to look upon ... This is Jesus Christ, God’s servant who prospered. His loss is our gain. His death is our life.’ — @BishopComensoli, Good Friday

‘What Christ did on the night he was betrayed, on this night, he did for all to partake in ... His sacrifice to receive; his forgiveness to experience; his love to know.’ 🙏—@BishopComensoli (Homily, Holy Thursday)
