Alleluia! Christ is
Risen! Christ is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!

O brothers and sisters. O sons and daughters. O Catholic
offshoots. O holy, celestial plants, O you who are regenerated in Jesus Christ
and born in heaven, listen to me, or rather hear from me the words: Sing to the Lord a new chant. Good, you
say. I am singing. Yes, you are singing. I hear you. But let not your life
belie your words. Sing with the voice, sing with the heart, sing with the
mouth, but sing with your whole life: sing
to the Lord a new song. But how should you sing of that which you love?
Doubtless it is what you love that you wish to sing of. You would like to know
his glory to sing of it. You have heard the words: Sing to the Lord a new song. You want to know what is his glory? His glory is the assembly of the saints. The
glory of him who is sung about is nothing other than the one who sings about
it. Become yourself the glory that you
sing of.
St. Augustine of Hippo, (d. 430), Easter
Sermon on Psalm 149
· Celebrate with abundant excess, with song and with joy.
