"Pope Francis Leads Easter Vigil Service After Health Setback"

Pope Francis presided over the Easter Vigil Mass at St. Peter's Basilica, urging believers to "look up" to Jesus and find hope in the victory of life over death. Reflecting on the women at Jesus' tomb, he emphasized that by welcoming Jesus into our lives, no failure or sorrow will have the final say, and no tomb will suppress the joy of life. He encouraged the faithful to lift their eyes to the Risen Lord and move forward with certainty in the eternal life that he brings.
