Bishop Bradley and the Diocese of Kalamazoo will launch a “Let Jesus’ Light Shine” campaign inviting all Christians to turn on their lights on for Easter Day and throughout the Easter octave (and Easter season if possible) to bear witness to the Risen Lord and the Light of the World. People are asked to decorate their windows/outside areas as they choose with bright lights – much like Christmas.

- The Holy Father’s prayer asking Mary to protect the world during the coronavirus pandemic. “O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus' pain, keeping your faith firm. You know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection. Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.  Amen.”
