Happy Easter from CPAC: Christ is Risen!

"The reign of life has begun, the tyranny of death is ended. A new birth has taken place, a new life has come, a new order of existence has appeared, our very nature has been transformed!"- St. Gregory of Nyssa, Oratio 1 in Christi resurrectionem.

This Easter, we celebrate the moment when the tyranny of death was forever ended, and a new order of existence burst forth into the world. Easter is not merely a historical event but the cosmic transformation of all reality—the beginning of God's new creation.

Through Christ's resurrection, the new reign of life has commenced, our very nature has been transformed, and we discover a radically new relationship with the world around us. This is our Easter joy: we are no longer alienated from nature or God, but invited to inhabit the blessed and everlasting life where heaven and earth, spirit and matter, are finally united in Christ's triumph over death.

In America, we urgently need this Easter restoration of faith—not as individuals alone, but as a community renewed in our relationship with God and creation itself. When we truly encounter the risen Christ, we are called to rebuild our nation not through domination or power, but through the transformation of hearts, learning to see God's glory in all things.

Easter reminds us that authentic renewal begins when we gather as one people, reconnected to the transcendent, and commit ourselves to becoming a community that witnesses to the world that heaven and earth can be reconciled.

CPAC wishes you and your family a Happy Easter!
