Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song.

Easter is the time to forgive and be forgiven, to let go of the past and embrace the future.
The resurrection gives my life meaning and direction and the opportunity to start over no matter what my circumstances.
Easter is the only festival that does not come to us from a specific historical event; it grew out of the observation of natural phenomena.
Easter tells us that life is to be interpreted not simply in terms of things but in terms of ideals.

Let the resurrection joy lift us from loneliness and weakness and despair to strength and beauty and happiness.
Easter is love. Easter is the love of Christ and God our Father. Easter is the time to show love to all those who mean the most.
