The Easter Vigil is the liturgical celebration with which the Church commemorates the Resurrection of the Lord. It is celebrated on the night from Holy Saturday to Easter Sunday and is the culmination of the Paschal Triduum and of the entire liturgical year.
It is not just another Mass. It is the celebration from which all others are born. The Vigil is the moment when the Church baptizes new Christians, renews its baptismal promises, proclaims the Alleluia for the first time after forty days of silence, and celebrates the Eucharist of the Resurrection.
In the words of the Roman Missal, it is the “mother of all vigils“: the night when the Church, like a bride awaiting the bridegroom, keeps watch waiting for the risen Lord.

Today the Church celebrates the feast day of St. Joseph the Worker. Fittingly, in some countries like Spain, today is Labor Day. St. Joseph’s work as a carpenter was a way to provide for his family and to participate in the divine plan of salvation, making him a fitting patron for workers.

St. Joseph, as a carpenter and the earthly father of Jesus, is a model of the dignity of labor, demonstrating that work can be a way to serve God and provide for one’s family. Let us pray to St. Joseph for all those who are seeking employment.

The pallbearers were part of what's called the Papal Gentlemen. "They would help him around and help him with visitors and now they're helping him to his final resting place," Father James Martin S.J., Editor at Large of "America Magazine," explained during ABC's broadcast of the funeral.

The people who carried Pope Francis's coffin during his funeral were members of the Papal Gentlemen, also known as the sediari pontifici. They are a select group of footmen within the Papal household who have traditionally been responsible for various ceremonial duties, including carrying the Pope's coffin. Additionally, they are known as confraternities, which are guilds of artisans and workmen close to the church.
