Easter Message 2025 – Holy Catholic Church

“He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.” – Matthew 28:6

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Easter greets us once more with radiant light, with open tombs, and with hearts renewed in faith. The joy of the Resurrection echoes through our churches, our homes, and our souls. Christ is Risen! He lives—not in memory alone—but truly, gloriously, eternally. And in Him, so shall we live.

This sacred season is not just a celebration of a moment in history, but a revelation of God’s promise to each of us. It is the triumph of love over death, peace over despair, and grace over sin. The Resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of our hope, the anchor of our faith, and the invitation to live anew.

For individuals, Easter is a gentle call to rise from the tombs we hide in. The tomb of bitterness, the grave of shame, the darkness of loneliness, fear, or spiritual dryness—Christ enters all these places to lead us out. He does not abandon us in our struggles. He meets us in them, just as He met Mary in her tears and the disciples in their fear. The empty tomb is proof that no pain, no sin, no failure is beyond His power to redeem..

Let this Easter be the beginning of a personal resurrection. Embrace the mercy of God. Let forgiveness be real, even toward yourself. Open your heart once more to prayer, to silence, to His Word. In these moments, you will meet the Risen Christ, alive and active in your journey.

For families, Easter invites a renewal of love and unity. The home is a sacred space, a domestic church, where the light of Christ should shine daily. In a world of distraction, division, and busyness, Easter whispers to families: “Come back to what matters most.” Return to the table—not just for meals, but for connection. Pray together, even if it’s simple. Share joys, carry one another’s burdens, and speak words that build, not break.

Christ’s Resurrection teaches us that new life is always possible. Relationships can heal. Trust can be rebuilt. Peace can flourish, even in homes marked by struggle. Let your family be a place where the Resurrection is seen—not just in celebration, but in compassion, forgiveness, and faith.

As the Church, we are a people of the Resurrection. We are called not only to believe in the risen Christ but to be the risen Christ in the world—to carry His light into dark places, to offer hope where it’s scarce, and to live with a joy that no circumstance can steal.

May this Easter fill you with courage to begin again, with love to give again, and with faith to rise again. Christ is Risen—and because He lives, so can we. In our personal lives, in our families, in our Church and world, Easter is not the end of the story—it is the beautiful beginning of something eternal.

Alleluia! Alleluia!
