Jesus Christ is risen. Alleluia!
What we celebrate on Easter Sunday we
celebrate with equal joy for a full fifty days—seven times seven days,
a week of weeks—until Pentecost.
The jubilant word “alleluia,” which
comes to us from Hebrew, is not used at all during Lent.
We use it over and over again in this
season, however, for as St. Augustine said, “We are an Easter people and
‘alleluia’ is our cry.”
