The Holy Church makes use of the vibrant and chaste joys of Easter to make shine before our eyes, even amidst the sadness of the contemporary situation, the triumphal certainty that God is the supreme Lord of all things.
Christ is the King of glory, who overcame death and defeated the demon. His Church is a queen of immense majesty, who is able to rise from all the wreckage, to dispel all the darkness, and to shine with the most brilliant triumph at the precise moment when the most terrible and irreparable downfall seemed to await her.
Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
