Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia!
Our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
Who did once upon the cross, Alleluia!
Suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia!

Hymns of praise then let us sing, Alleluia!
Unto Christ, our heavenly king, Alleluia!
Who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia!
Sinners to redeem and save. Alleluia!

But the pains which he endured, Alleluia!
Our salvation have procured; Alleluia!
Now above the sky he's king, Alleluia!
Where the angels ever sing. Alleluia!

Sing we to our God above, Alleluia!
Praise eternal as his love; Alleluia!
Praise him, all you heavenly host, Alleluia!
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia!

This is the day we have been waiting for, the day of our salvation verified! Jesus rose from the grave! He conquered death! He lives again, no more to die! Jesus invites us to live with him forever! All we have to do is accept the invitation! His proclamation of salvation is simple: “This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel” (Mk. 1:15).

After he fully suffered for us and sacrificed his life for our sake, he rose from the dead. If we are waiting for a sign from God, THIS IS IT! This means that our lives have meaning within the context of God's everlasting love for us. We are now called to live each day anew as the dawn of our salvation. We are now called to live as Jesus taught us. We are now called to see Jesus in our neighbor, our colleague, our family, our brother who is begging on the corner, our sister who is raising her children without their father, our son who is in prison, our daughter who is on the street. We are now called to love AS JESUS LOVED US.
