"This is the night of which it is written:
The night shall be as bright as day, dazzling is the night
for me, and full of gladness. The sanctifying power of this
night dispels all wickedness, washes faults away, restores
innocence to the fallen, and joy to the mourners, drives
out hatred, fosters concord, and brings down the mighty."
From Exultet, intoned during Easter Vigil

"Poor death, where is your sting? Poor hell,
where is your triumph? Christ steps out of the tomb
and you are reduced to nothing!
Christ rises and the angels are wild with delight.
Christ rises and life is set free.
Christ rises and graves are emptied of dead.
Christ rises and life is set free.
Christ rises and graves are emptied of dead.
Oh yes, for He broke from the tomb like a flower, a
beautiful fruit: the first fruit of those already gone.
All glory be His, all success and power . . .
forever and ever." - St John Chrysostom
forever and ever." - St John Chrysostom

From Pope Leo XIV, Easter vigil homily, 2026:
"Just as the women rushed to tell the disciples, we too
should desire to set out tonight from this Basilica to
bring to all the good news that Jesus has risen and
that having risen with Him through His power, we too
can give life to a new world of peace and unity."
Christ is risen to go before us:
our Brother to the Father,
our Priest to the Altar.
our Saviour to the world!
Christ is risen!
our Brother to the Father,
our Priest to the Altar.
our Saviour to the world!
Christ is risen!
Christ is risen!
Christ is risen!
Christ is risen!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
