Pope Francis' Easter Vigil Message: May the Light of Resurrection Illuminate Our Hearts

In his homily read by Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, during the Easter Vigil in St. Peter's Basilica, Pope Francis underlined how "the light of the Resurrection illuminates our path, step by step," breaking through the darkness of history and illuminating our hearts.

Cardinal Re presided over the Easter Vigil on behalf of Pope Francis, who has limited his public activities as he continues to recover from health problems.

Before the start of the celebration, the Pope made a brief visit to St. Peter's Basilica to spend some time in prayer and to be close to the faithful arriving for the Easter Vigil liturgy to be celebrated almost two hours later. Over five thousand faithful gathered in the Basilica and the square outside.

The light of the Resurrection demands " the response of a humble faith, without any triumphalism ," the Pope said in his homily.

"Revival is like small seeds of light that slowly and silently take root in our hearts, sometimes still prey to darkness and disbelief."
