Via Lucis Via Lucis Via Lucis
Lector:
On the evening of that first day of the week, even though the disciples had locked the doors of the place where the disciples used to gather, Jesus came and stood before them and said: "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you .Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive men's sins, they are forgiven them. Whose sins you retain, they shall be retained" (Jn 20,19)
All:
Come, Holy Spirit. As the first gift from the Risen Jesus, make us pass from sin towards grace. Grant that everyone of us be as happy as a lark, because You forgive us.
Hymn:
The Lord is risen: sing with us! He has conquered death, Hallelujah!
(Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!)
This Trail of Light (Via Lucis) for children can be put into effect during the Easter period and during those moments of fortitude within the life of a community. It is an itinerant and joyous catechesis. It is a Trail of Light by now quite diffused. It has been done in Rome, Jerusalem, Moscow and many other parts of the world. Everyone is enthusiastic about it, especially children. "How beautiful it is" they say, "to keep Jesus company with a joyous face." Now we can really say that the journey is over: After Calvary, the Victory of Life.
