Eastertide - There are 50 days of Easter from the first Sunday, April 21 to Pentecost Sunday, May 20. It is characterized, above all, by the joy of glorified life and the victory over death, expressed most fully in the great resounding cry of the Christian:  Alleluia! All faith flows from faith in the resurrection:"If Christ has not been raised, then empty is our preaching; empty, too, is your faith." (1 Cor 15:14)

Prayer on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception

Father,
The image of the Virgin is found in your Church.

Mary had a faith that your Spirit prepared and a love that
never knew sin, for you kept her sinless from the first moment of
her conception.

Trace in our actions the lines of her love, in our hearts her readiness of faith.

Prepare once again a world for your Son who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
