Quote★★★★
O Almighty God, hear thy people who are this day met to glorify the resurrection of thy Son our Lord and guide them on from this festival to eternal gladness, from the exacting joy of this solemnity to joys that have no end; for this is the day of man’s resurrection, the birthday of eternal life, the day in which we have been satisfied with thy mercy in the morning, in which the blessed One who cometh in the name of the Lord and who is our God hath shone upon us. Amen.*
