April 5 & 12, 2026 – Easter & 2nd Sunday of Easter (Sunday of Divine Mercy)
Jesus is risen! Alleluia! Today, Christians around the world celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, who defeated death to give us eternal life with him. Let’s join the angels and saints in Heaven to give glory to the Risen Lord, who is bigger and stronger than death and who is with us now and until the end of time.
In early April 2020 near the beginning of the pandemic, nearly 250 children from the French Federation of Pueri Cantores (Children Singers) came together virtually for a recorded performance the Alleluia Chorus from Handel’s “Messiah.” Find it here.
May we all pray (sing) along with these words from the chorus:
“For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!”
