This Easter, President Trump Reaffirms America as
    a Beacon for Christian Liberty


    The White House | April 5, 2026

     

    This Easter Sunday, as Christians around the world rejoice in the glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ, President Donald J. Trump stands as a fierce defender of the Christian faith. From his first day back in office, President Trump has made protecting people of faith a cornerstone of his Administration. Under his leadership, the U.S. is once again a beacon of religious liberty — honoring the biblical values and heritage that built our nation.

    President Trump is protecting Christians at home:

    • President Trump established the historic White House Faith Office — the first-ever office in the West Wing dedicated exclusively to advancing faith.

    • President Trump established a new Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias to investigate and dismantle the systematic discrimination against Christians that occurred under the previous administration.

    • President Trump pardoned Christians and pro-life activists who were unjustly persecuted for praying and peacefully living out their faith.
    • President Trump declared it the official policy of the U.S. Government that there are only two immutable sexes — male and female.

    • President Trump banned federal funding for the chemical and surgical mutilation of minors, protecting children from irreversible harm.

    • The Department of Justice swiftly arrested dozens of Radical Left rioters who attacked a worship service at a Minnesota church — sending a clear message that violence against places of worship will not be tolerated.

    • President Trump signed the first-ever national school choice program, empowering parents to choose faith-based schools for their children and ending the monopoly of government-run education.

    • The Trump Administration ended the barbaric use of fetal tissue from aborted babies in federally funded research at the National Institutes of Health.

    • The Trump Administration eliminated Biden-era mandates forcing insurance companies to cover abortions.

    • The Trump Administration strengthened conscience protections for healthcare providers who object to abortion, sterilization, or assisted suicide, and launched multiple investigations into facilities that violated those rights.

    • President Trump established the Religious Liberty Commission to safeguard religious freedom for all faiths, with special attention to protecting Christianity from government overreach.

    • President Trump ordered the repeal of all regulations conflicting with Supreme Court precedents on religious liberty.

    • The Trump Administration directed federal agencies to support and protect religious expression in the workplace.
    • The Department of Veterans Affairs rescinded speech codes that censored military chaplains’ sermons.

    • The Small Business Administration eliminated a Biden-era ban on disaster relief for faith-based organizations.

    • President Trump placed Faith Directors or Faith Liaisons in every federal department and agency.

    • President Trump reformed the accreditation process, which was repeatedly weaponized against faith-based institutions.

    • President Trump issued an executive order combating the debanking of Americans based on their political and religious beliefs, which had been targeted at conservatives and people of faith.

    • President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts Act increased the Child Tax Credit, expanded employer childcare tax credits, made the paid family leave tax credit permanent, and established Trump Accounts for the next generation of Americans.

    • The Department of Justice restricted the misuse of the FACE Act against pro-life advocates, dismissing several cases aimed at persecuting pro-life Americans.

    • President Trump mandated enforcement of the Hyde Amendment to end the use of federal taxpayer dollars to fund or promote abortion.

    • President Trump reinforced America’s “longstanding legacy of prayer, faith, and trust in God.” 

    President Trump is protecting Christians abroad:

    • President Trump reinstated and expanded the Mexico City Policy, ensuring American taxpayer dollars no longer subsidize abortion, coercive sterilization, or radical gender ideology overseas.

    • President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the pro-abortion, anti-faith, anti-freedom World Health Organization.

     

    • The State Department renewed its membership in the Geneva Consensus Declaration, which champions women’s health, strengthens the natural family, and rejects any international right to abortion.

    • The Trump Administration launched a probe into the Spanish government’s euthanasia of 25-year-old Noelia Castillo.

    • President Trump ordered targeted strikes against jihadist Islamic State terrorists in Nigeria who have terrorized Christian communities for years.

    • The Trump Administration delivered critical humanitarian assistance to persecuted Christian communities in Southern Syria and beyond, standing firmly with believers under threat.

    • In response to anti-Christian violence around the globe, the Department of State restricted visas for individuals involved in violations of religious freedom.

    On this sacred Easter Sunday, we are reminded that faith is not a private matter to be silenced by government — but a foundational strength of our Republic. Through bold leadership and unwavering commitment, the Trump Administration is restoring religious liberty, protecting the innocent, and ensuring that America will always remain one nation under God.

Vatican News

Pope Leo XIV Urges Leaders to
Choose Peace Over Domination,
Announces Prayer Vigil


By RVA News

April 06, 2026

 

VATICAN News 4-06-26: Pope Leo XIV on Easter Sunday called on world leaders to lay down their weapons and choose dialogue over domination, warning against growing in difference to violence and suffering.

In his traditional Urbi et Orbi (“To the City and the World”) message delivered to tens of thousands gathered in St. Peter’s Square, the Pope urged those in positions of power to pursue peace rooted in encounter and reconciliation.

“Let those who have weapons lay them down,” he said, according to Vatican News. He stressed that true peace must not be “imposed by force,” but built through genuine human encounter.

The Pope warned that the world is becoming increasingly desensitized to violence. “We are growing accustomed to violence,” he said, noting a rising indifference not only to the loss of life but also to the hatred, division, and wider social and economic consequences caused by war.

Echoing a phrase often used by Pope Francis, he cautioned against what he described as a “globalization of indifference.”

“We cannot continue to be indifferent,” he said. “We cannot resign ourselves to evil.”

As a concrete response, the Pope announced that he will lead a prayer vigil for peace on April 11 at St. Peter’s Basilica.

Reflecting on the meaning of Easter, Pope Leo said Christ’s Resurrection signifies victory over death and evil. However, he emphasized that this victory was achieved not through force, but through nonviolence and self-giving love.

According to Vatican News, the Pope described this love as the “true strength” that builds peace, fosters relationships, and renews both individuals and societies.

He concluded by noting that Easter peace is not merely the absence of conflict, but an inner transformation of the human heart.

“Let us allow ourselves to be transformed by the peace of Christ,” he said, entrusting to God all those who suffer and long for lasting peace.

The Urbi et Orbi blessing, one of the most significant papal messages of the year, traditionally addresses both the city of Rome and the wider world, offering a global call to reflection and renewal.

    U.S. Armed Forces Easter Sunrise Service 2026 | U.S. Army Band & Chorus.


     

    The 2026 National Military Easter Sunrise Service held at Arlington National Cemetery. The service features participation from senior chaplains across multiple military branches, as well as musical performances by the U.S. Army Band and Chorus. The order of service includes opening prayers, responsive readings, scripture readings from 1 Corinthians and the Gospels, and several classic hymns.

     

    The centerpiece of the service is the Easter sermon, which creatively compares the resurrection of Jesus to a "time travel" event. The chaplain explains that through the resurrection, Christ brought the promise of God's future (a renewed creation without pain, sin, or death) into the present world. The message concludes with a call to action for the congregation to actively bring this "new life" into their current communities by comforting the broken, caring for the needy, and working toward peace and restoration.
