Ecclesiae Catholicae sollemnia paschalia officialia: In Basilicâ Sancti Iohannis in Laterano sitâ, quae est ecclesia cathedralis Romana, Papa Benedictus XVI. celebravit traditam...

A blessed Easter to all as this Feast of the Resurrection of our Lord comes to an end (though the Feast Himself is eternal!).

Please find below a beautiful post on Rev. Cwirla's Blogosphere in honor of our Blessed Lord's Resurrection and the universal ramifications of that historic event for the life of the world. The Rev. William Cwirla has posted the ancient Resurrection greeting in several languages, beginning with the original Greek (our Orthodox brothers and sisters celebrate the Resurrection this year on April 27) and with the (almost-original) Latin right below.

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! Amen!
