Station XIV
The Resurrection
After the sabbath, as the first
day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other
Mary went to see the tomb. And suddenly there was a great
earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from
heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His
appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as
snow. For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead
men. But the angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid; I
know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is
not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the
place where he lay. —
Matthew 28
Love's ultimate victory over
death shines forth in all of creation! Eternal and Glorious
God, give me eyes to see the eternal springtime of your
love, a voice to sing your praise, and a heart that leaps
for joy. |
