VENTUS – May 1 @ 7pm “We do not pretend that life is all beauty. We are aware of darkness and sin, of poverty and pain. But we know Jesus has conquered sin and passed through his own pain to the glory of the Resurrection. And we live in the light of his Paschal Mystery – the mystery of his Death and Resurrection. ‘We are an Easter People and Alleluia is our song!’” – St. John Paul II Click here to access recordings. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION VERSES: If you have any difficulty understanding how to read/sing the Gospel Acclamation Verses for each week, just let me know and I’ll be happy to explain it. I will provide PDFs and recordings for each week here.
