Christ is Risen! Risen indeed! Alleluia
From an ancient Homily by St. John Chrysostom:
Come all lovers of God, rejoice in the splendor of this feast: enter into the joy of your Lord.
You the first and you the last, receive alike your reward; you rich and you poor, dance together; you sober and you weaklings, celebrate the day; you who have kept the fast and you who have not, rejoice today. The table is richly loaded: enjoy its royal banquet… let no one go away hungry. All of you enjoy the banquet of faith; all of you receive the riches of his goodness.Christ is risen and the angels rejoice. Christ is risen and life is freed. Christ is risen and the tomb is emptied of the dead: for Christ, being risen from the dead, has become the Leader and Reviver of those who had fallen asleep.To Him be glory and power for ever and ever. Amen
Christ is Risen! Risen indeed! Alleluia
Amen! Happy Easter! (By the way, why are you blogging at 2 am?)
