May you all be filled with the joy of the risen Lord and may He shower you all with His grace! From the Sequence in today's Mass:
Forth to the paschal Victim,
Christians, bring your sacrifice of praise:
The Lamb redeems the sheep;
And Christ the sinless One,
Hath to the Father sinners reconciled.
Together, death and life in a strange conflict strove.
The Prince of life, who died,
Now lives and reigns.
What thou sawest, Mary, say,
As though wentest on the way.
I saw the tomb wherein the living one had lain,
I saw His glory as He rose again;
Napkin and linen clothes, and angels twain:
Yea, Christ is risen, my hope, and He
Will go before you into Galilee.
We know that Christ indeed has risen from the grave:
Hail, thou King of Victory,
Have mercy, Lord, and save. Amen. Alleluia.
