Easter is the beginning of our new life with Christ!
Easter is the beginning of our new life with Christ! For Catholics, Easter isn't just a single day of celebration—it's an entire season where we celebrate our new life in Christ. Although our Lenten journey is complete, we must not forget to create space for prayer in our daily lives. We ought to spend time with our Risen Lord. Give Him your heart as you kneel before the tabernacle. Pope St. John Paul II, pray for us!

Lent Is The Path To The Cross
Ash Wednesday is finally here, and thus the beginning of Lent.⠀ ⠀ Ash Wednesday reminds us that we are not immortal and to live every day as if it is our last, fervently praying to the Lord for mercy and forgiveness.⠀ ⠀ Lent is the path to the cross. It's our chance to deny ourselves and ready ourselves to carry it. We journey to the cross of Good Friday, but our true destination is the Easter resurrection.
Alleluia! He is risen!
“O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?” — 1 Corinthians 15:55 Alleluia! He is risen! This is the most joyous feast of the year. Christ's death and resurrection are the foundation of the Christian faith. The churches are now filled with Jesus' presence and with His Light. They are no longer silent, as we join our voices and songs of praise with the choirs in heaven. Celebrate this Easter season to the fullest and see our Easter collection at CatholicCompany.com.
