At this time of year, we should celebrate God’s gift of His life and the gift of our salvation, writes John Studzinski.
“Alleluia!” Around the world, regardless of location, contextual culture and language, that word is proclaimed every day, except in Lent, before the Gospel at every Holy Mass. Exhorting us to praise the Lord, it exemplifies the way each one of us, through our faith and through shared ritual, occupies a place at the core of the universal church. Though born and raised in Massachusetts, I have been based in London for the past 40 years. My work in banking and finance involves frequent and extensive travel. Whatever the time zone, I do my utmost to start my day with Holy Mass.
