This is the day, Lord God, that you have made! Raising Christ from the dead, and

raising us with Christ, you have fashioned for yourself a new people, washed in the

flood of baptism, sealed with the gift of the Spirit, and invited to the banquet of the

Lamb. In the beauty of this Easter morning, we offer you all praise and thanks through

Jesus, our Risen Lord and Saviour. Amen.

COMPEDIUM OF THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

16. To whom is given the task of authentically interpreting the deposit of faith? The task of giving an authentic interpretation of the deposit of faith has been entrusted to the living teaching office of the Church alone, that is, to the successor of Peter, the Bishop of Rome, and to the bishops in communion with him. To this Magisterium, which in the service of the Word of God enjoys the certain charism of truth, belongs also the task of defining dogmas which are formulations of the truths contained in divine Revelation. This authority of the Magisterium also extends to those truths necessarily connected with Revelation.
