"And behold there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and coming, rolled back the stone and sat upon it. And his countenance was as lightning, and his raiment as snow. And for fear of him, the guards were struck with terror and became as dead men" (Matt. 28, 2-4).
Prelude:
Behold Jesus, rising gloriously from the tomb.
Affections:
O holy, truly blessed day of my beloved Saviour's glorious resurrection! What exquisite joy and delight are mine in Thy glorious triumph! It is my sweetest consolation to know that Thou, dear Lord, hast no more to suffer, and now rejoicest in Thy inexpressible glory and exaltation. O almighty Conqueror of death and hell, complete the work of Thy grace in me, let me participate in the glorious life to which Thou invitest me in the mystery of this day. O Jesus, Who didst clothe in glory and splendor that Body which had been the victim of the cruelty of man, give me grace to die to myself that I may rise again with Thee, and after Thy likeness lead a new, divine, immortal life, worthy of an all-surpassing, everlasting glory! O holy Virgin, by thy glorified Son, obtain for us the grace to rise after our death to the eternal glory of paradise.
Jesus Mercy! Mary Help!
