RESPONSORIAL PSALM: This day was made by the Lord;

                                        We rejoice and are glad.

 

IMPULSES FOR PRAYER: Gn 1:1-4;   Ps 125 (126);   Rv 3: 20-22

MEDITATION:

The tomb speaks of one dead

But the resurrection proclaims God;

The tears of the women speak of one dead,

But the words of the angel speak of God.

The soldiers kept guard over him as one dead,

While the sentinels of the underworld saw him in amazement as God.

Hesychius of Jerusalem, 5^th century
