disciples...that He goes before you” (Gospel).
Yes, we too, searchers after Christ, now confess we have found Him. The task before us is to “tell” others of His victory that all may be “of one mind and heart” Postcommunion.
Why? ..... Because if Christmas is the loveliest Feast as we behold God born of Mary unto man’s life, certainly Easter is the greatest as we behold Jesus born of a tomb so that man may rise unto God’s life. Our faith in His Divinity is confirmed because He “overcame death.” Our hope is enlivened because He has “opened unto us the Gate of Eternity” (Prayer).
Is it any wonder that the “earth trembled...when God arose” (Offertory)? How are we to prepare for our Easter Communion? A Resurrection Day effort to “purge out the old” life for the “new!” How could we be nourished by the “sincerity and truth” of Divine Bread if it were spoiled by the “leaven” of an insincere will, of an untrue mind (Epistle)?
