Christ is Risen, Alleluia!
Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, he who in his great mercy gave us new
birth; a birth unto hope which draws its life from
the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead
(1 Pt 1:3).
Christ is Risen, Alleluia!
Since you have been raised up in company with
Christ, set your heart on what pertains to higher
realms where Christ is seated at God's right hand.
Be intent on things above rather than on things of
earth (Col 3:1-2).
Christ is Risen, Alleluia!
I wish to know Christ and the power flowing from
his resurrection; likewise to know how to share in
his sufferings by being formed into the pattern of
his death. Thus do I hope that I may arrive at
resurrection from the dead (Phil 3:10-11).
Christ is Risen, Alleluia!
Continually we carry about in our bodies the dying
of Jesus, so that in our bodies the life of Jesus
may also be revealed (2 Cor 4:10).
Christ is Risen, Alleluia!
Let us celebrate the feast not with the old yeast,
that of corruption and wickedness, but with the
unleavened bread of sincerity and truth (1
Cor 5:8).
Christ is Risen, Alleluia!
Easter Greetings! Easter Blessings! May
the Lord make all things new for you as you
celebrate his Resurrection: new hope, new
enthusiasm, new attitudes, new possibilities, a
renewed commitment to our parish and our
neighborhood. Happy Easter, my friends!

with Christ, set your heart on what pertains to
higher realms where Christ is seated at God's
right hand" (Col 3:1). As Christians we
celebrate the joy of new life. As stewards, let
us share this joy with others by the examples we
set through our daily actions.
WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY...
ABOUT EASTER:
This holy and blessed day is the first of the
week, the king and master of days, the feast of
feasts and the season of seasons. On this day we
bless Christ for ever and ever.
O faithful, come on this day of the glorious
resurrection: let us drink the wine of the new
vineyard, of the divine joy, of the kingdom of
Christ! Let us praise him as our God for ever and
ever. Easter Sunday Orthodox Liturgy
May God bless you and your family in
this wonder season of Easter and throughout the
rest of this Year of our Lord!

GREETINGS FROM OUR ARCHBISHOP:
The Lord is Risen! Alleluia!
Dear Friends in Christ at St. Anthony's,
In speaking to us about Jesus, the Scriptures
tell us: "God has raised him on the third day and
made him manifest" (Acts 10:40).
Throughout the Lenten season we have
concentrated on the death of our Lord on the
Cross. And today in churches throughout the
Archdiocese and the world with joyful hearts we
proclaim that our Savior Jesus Christ is risen
from the dead. Alleluia!
The Lord of life has risen in power, bringing
with Him love and justice, forgiveness and
reconciliation. May the risen Christ strengthen
us to live as His people, and to be instruments of
His justice and peace to our brothers and sisters.
With the women who first discovered the empty
tomb, with Mary and the Apostles, and in union
with the whole Church, let us give thanks to God
this day because our Savior Jesus Christ has
redeemed us by His death and resurrection.
To all of you, a Blessed Easter!
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Rev. Justin F. Rigali
Archbishop of St. Louis
Don't Forget!
