Corpus Christi Church

Today we are filled with joy, for we celebrate the resurrection of Our Lord.  He died on the cross, but now he has been raised from death to new life.  Today we are filled with hope, fo the sacrifice he made on the cross has opened the way to eternal life.  His sacrifice is our salvation.  Today we are filled with praise, for Jesus Christ has won victory over the grave. Jesus has redeemed humanity!
