After a season of penance and mourning for our sins, God has given us the Easter season to rejoice in His Resurrection and the gift of sharing in His divine life through Baptism!
"O God, Who dost heal the sick world by the solemn gladness of the Passover, continue, we beseech Thee, to pour forth thine heavenly gifts upon thy people, till the same shall bring them into perfect liberty, and finally avail them unto life everlasting."
St. Joseph pray for us.
