Closing Responses on Easter Morning

My sisters and brothers,
today we have celebrated
the glorious Mystery of Christ's death and resurrection.
Let us go forth, rejoicing in the knowledge
that Jesus is alive.
Alleluia!

Today, we look to the future -
to the new dawn of Eastertide
Let us go to live as people bathed in the light of resurrection.
Alleluia!

Today, we remember the day when creation was made new
when God showed humanity its destiny.
Let us go as people living in the knowledge
that through the triumph of Jesus over death
the gates of heaven are re-opened.
Alleluia!
