Wondrous God, today we celebrate life and hope, and are overjoyed at the surprise of the empty tomb. We are humbled and awed by what we believe is your promise fulfilled Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. We must confess that had we been there on that early morning with Mary Magdalene and Salome and the other Mary, that we probably would have been as terrified as they were. But looking back in time, from our vantage point, we simply can’t hold back the smile of delight that this glorious morning brings. O how wondrously you dress your creation in the brilliant colors of spring the friendly yellows, the rich luxurious reds, the elegant oranges, the purist whites and blissful pinks. Even if we are unable to see the colors of earth’s adornments, their perfume fills the air. Dearest, Lord, You have seen to every detail and we are filled with gladness and relief. Most Holy God, on this day of days we confess anew our faith in Jesus Christ, trusting in your justifying grace. We promise to carry the glad tidings boldly and unabashedly our sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life. CHRIST IS RISEN ! CHRIST IS RISEN INDEED! ALLELUIA! …...
