My favorite moment in the Church liturgy, in every way I’ve seen it is when the lights come up and the bells begin to ring and the choir begins to sing the gloria at Easter Vigil. The joy is so strong. I was there last Saturday with my family - two of whom were returning to the Church and one of whom was being Baptized and it was amazing.

Yes, that is a beautiful moment. I love the Easter Vigil Mass, and I attend it when possible. This year, I went to Mass on Sunday morning, though.
Such a joyful Easter for you. May your blessings continue.
Having sponsored a new Catholic via the RCIA, it was truly a blessing to be a part of the Holy Saturday evening gathering.
