went to the holy tree of the Cross,
destroyed the power of the abyss and
clothed with power,
raised on the third day.
Alleluia.
Easter III
Before Easter, we contemplated the mystery of the cross in pain, seeing the Lord suffer. He obeyed God the Father Almighty, and charged the iniquities of men. Without opening his mouth, like a meek lamb led to slaughter. His wounds we are healed.
But at Easter, the contemplation of the mystery of the Cross is full of gratitude, light and peace. Although men die to see crucified, who also died on the Cross was the power of death. Succumbed to the love that flowed from the side of Christ. Blood and water killed the power of the abyss, and we were given as pledges of our own resurrection.
The power of the pit was destroyed by the Risen. Therefore, the Easter season is a time of hope, a time of worship, a time of love.
Lord, grant us spiritual joy to persevere in your praise, although it has not yet succeeded in us the power of your light. Dawn on you in the Light of Easter. Amen.
