Easter morning is a time of unmatched joy and renewal. As Catholic families, beginning this beautiful day in prayer helps us center our hearts on Christ’s victory over death. In the excitement of Easter baskets and celebrations, taking a few quiet moments to pray as a family strengthens our faith and sets the tone for a grace-filled day.
As St. Augustine once said, “We are an Easter people, and Alleluia is our song!”
Scripture reminds us: “He is not here; he has risen!” (Luke 24:6, NIV).
Starting Easter morning with prayer is a powerful way to honor the Resurrection. It reminds us that the true gift of Easter is eternal life in Christ. When families pray together, they deepen their connection to God and to each other—living witnesses of the Catholic faith for families everywhere.
