00:23Let us pray
00:26Praise, honour and glory be to you, O Christ, who from the cross looked in upon your mother, overwhelmed with
00:34grief and tears, and so truly took compassion on her sorrow, commending her to the care of your disciple John,
00:42as also you commended John, and in him, all of us, to her maternal care.
00:50Grant me to love and honour your mother with the purest and most ardent love, that I may have her
00:57for my mother and be worthily acknowledged by her as her son.
01:02Grant that in every necessity, and especially at the hour of my death, I may find her ever present and
01:09at hand to help me.
01:13Praise, honour and glory be to you, O Christ, who with your wounds gaping and your head crowned with thorns,
01:21while hanging in misery upon the cross, declared that you were without any consolation.
01:29Grant that in all adversity and times of temptation and desolation, I may fly with faith to you, my most
01:37holy Father, and putting no confidence in myself, grant that I may place all my hopes in you alone, and
01:44entirely resign myself and trust in you.
01:48Wound my innermost soul with the remembrance of your wounds, write and imprint them upon my heart, satiate me wholly
01:57with your blood, that all my intentions may be fixed in you alone, and that I may seek and find
02:03and hold you fast, possessing you for ever and ever.
02:09Praise, honour and glory be to you, O Christ, who, when your body was exhausted from the loss of blood,
02:16gasped for breath, and cried out on the cross that you were tormented with thirst, while you burnt with unspeakable
02:23desire for our salvation.
02:27Give me grace to thirst most ardently after your honour and the salvation of souls, and be ready cheerfully to
02:35spend myself for them, according to your will.
02:40Grant that no love of any transitory object may possess my soul, that I may never attach myself to any
02:47creature, and that even when I am bound to love, I may love only in you.
02:53But give me grace to love you above all, and with my whole soul, and quietly to rest in you.
03:02Praise, honour and glory be to you, O Christ, who, when you were thirsty, even at the point of death,
03:09permitted a sponge filled with vinegar to be offered to you, and that by tasting this, you might make satisfaction
03:17for our gluttony, giving us an example of poverty.
03:22Grant me the grace to despise any unlawful pleasure and delight, and to avoid any excess in eating and drinking,
03:29and may I use with moderation and thanksgiving, whatever you do give me for the support of my poor body.
03:38So cleanse, I beg you, the taste of my heart, that it may relish nothing except that which is pleasing
03:44to you, and may find nothing but bitterness in whatever displeases you.
03:51Praise, honour and glory be to you, O Christ, you, the greatest lover of the human race, who, when you
03:58were bringing out the work of our redemption to a close, brought yourself as a holy victim upon the altar
04:05of the cross for the sin of all mankind.
04:09May this be the only end, I beg you, of all my thoughts, words and works, namely, to seek your
04:17honour with an upright and sincere heart, and to desire nothing save you alone.
04:24Grant that I may never grow weary or lukewarm in your service, but a fervent spirit, always be ever renewed
04:31within me, that I may daily be more and more inflamed to love and praise you.
04:38Praise and honour and glory be to you, O Christ, who willingly underwent death, when commending yourself to your Father,
04:46and bending your adorable head, you gave up the ghost, and thus, by laying down your life for your sheep,
04:54showed yourself to be the Good Shepherd.
05:00You are dead, only begotten Son of God, you are dead, my beloved one, that I may live for ever.
05:06What hope, what confidence is laid up for me in your death and in your blood.
05:11I glorify you, I give you thanks as far as in me lies.
05:15Give me grace to die entirely, to sin, and all evil desires, and to live to you alone.
05:23May I think of you alone, may my understanding exercise itself in nothing except you.
05:30That, clad in your grace and with holy charity, I may soon after the close of this life come to
05:37you, the true paradise.
05:39O good Jesus, by your bitter passion and death, grant to me the living pardon and grace, and to the
05:46faithful departed rest and everlasting light.
05:50Praise, honour and glory be to you, O Christ, at whose death the sun withdrew its light,
05:57And the veil of the temple was divided in two, the earth quaked, and the rocks were cut, and the
06:04graves opened.
06:07May the rays of your grace never leave me, I beg you, you son of righteousness.
06:14You that are my God, may they always lighten even the very inmost recesses of my heart, that I may
06:22joyfully serve you for ever.
06:25Tear away from me the veil of hypocrisy, make the ground of my soul quake with saving penitence.
06:31Rend in two, this heart of stone of mine, that, being only renewed within, I may despise anything perishable, and
06:41love only the things that are of heaven.
06:45Amen.
06:49O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing your praise.
07:01O be joyful in the Lord, only man, serve the Lord with gladness, and come before His presence with a
07:17talk.
07:19He is sure that the Lord, He is God.
07:24O Lord, come before His question.
07:30We are His people, and the sheep of His past dividers.
07:38Who있 whompe to the people of hyrte, and his love with praise,
07:48Be thankful unto him and speak to the Lord of his name.
07:57For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting,
08:07and his truth and joy from generation to generation.
08:20Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost,
08:31as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
08:40world without end. Amen.
09:00I will only thanks unto the Lord,
09:06His grace shall ever be in my mouth.
09:13My soul shall make the Lord's in the Lord,
09:19but our Lord shall give their hope and demand.
09:25O praise the Lord with me,
09:31and let us verify his name together.
09:38I sought the Lord, and he heard me,
09:44yea, he delivered me out of all thy fill.
09:51They had a while to hear, and her lighten,
09:59and their faces were not ashamed.
10:05The Lord for crying, and the Lord with me,
10:13yea, and sing and sing out of all his joy.
10:21Yea, the angel of the Lord's heaven,
10:25yea, the angel of the Lord's heaven,
10:27yea, the Lord's heaven,
10:28yea, the Lord's heaven, yea, and he and me,
10:30and delivereth them.
10:35O taste and see how gracious the Lord is,
10:43blessed is the man that's trusted in me.
10:49O fear the Lord, he that are his saints,
10:56O they that bear him like nothing,
11:01yea, andWhat pain and its young.
11:03The ones who lack and suffer under,
11:09What great do speak the Lord
11:11shall launch the manner of things that is whole.

15:28things that have happened in these days. He said to them, what things? The things concerning
15:35Jesus the Nazarene, they replied, a man who with his powerful deeds and words proved to
15:41be a prophet before God and all the people. Our chief priests and rulers handed him over
15:47to be condemned to death and crucified him. But we had hoped that he would be the one
15:54who would redeem Israel. Not only this, but it is now the third day since these things
16:00happened. Furthermore, some of the women of our group amazed us. They were at the tomb
16:08early this morning, and when they did not find his body, they came back and said they
16:12had seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. Then some of those who were with
16:22others went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see him.
16:29So Jesus said to them, you foolish people, how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets
16:36have spoken. Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into his
16:43glory? Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things
16:49written about him in all the scriptures. So they approached the village where they were going.
16:58And Jesus acted as though he wanted to go further, but they urged him,
17:01Stay with us, because it is evening and the day is almost done. And so he went in to stay
17:07with them.
17:10And when he had taken his place at the table with them, he took the bread, blessed it and broke
17:15it
17:15and gave it to them. And at this point, their eyes were opened and they recognized him.
17:22And he vanished out of their sight. They said to each other, didn't our hearts burn within us
17:30while he was speaking with us on the road, while he explained the scriptures to us.
17:37So they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem.
17:42They found the eleven and those with them gathered together saying,
17:46The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon.
17:51Then they told them what had happened on the road and how they had recognized him when he broke breath.
17:58And while they were still saying these things, Jesus himself stood amongst them and said,
18:04Peace be with you. But they were startled and terrified, thinking that they saw a ghost.
18:12Then he said to them, Why are you frightened? And why do doubts arise in your hearts?
18:19Look at my hands and my feet. It is I. Touch me and see.
18:24A ghost does not have flesh and bones like you see I have.
18:31When he had said this, he shared them his hands and his feet.
18:36And while they still could not believe it because of their joy and were amazed, he said to them,
18:42Do you have something to eat? And so they gave him a piece of broiled fish,
18:47and he took it and ate it in front of them.
18:51Then he said to them, These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you,
18:56that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.
19:03Then he opened their minds so that they could understand the scriptures, saying to them,
19:09Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer, would rise from the dead on the third day,
19:14and repentance for all the forgiveness of sins would be forgiven, proclaimed in his name to all nations,
19:22beginning from Jerusalem.
19:24You are witnesses of all these things. Look, I say to you what my father promised,
19:30but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.
19:36Then Jesus led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them.
19:42During the blessing he departed and was taken up into heaven.
19:47And so they worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
19:52and were continually in the temple courts, blessing God.
19:57This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
20:07Two disciples on the road the afternoon of Easter day,
20:10came across a stranger who walked with them until their destination was reached.
20:17They had no idea who this man was, and they told him all that happened in Jerusalem over the weekend,
20:25about how Jesus was crucified, and appeared to come back to life again.
20:32The traveller expounded the profits to them, and still the penny did not drop.
20:38Finally, as they reached their village, they invited the man in for a meal,
20:42and as the bread was broken, they recognised the man as Jesus himself.
20:51One of the things I most like about this account is the excitement of the two disciples.
20:57It would have been already late, but they immediately rushed the eight miles back to Jerusalem,
21:03to tell the others that they have seen the Lord in person.
21:07They did not wait to return the next day. They straight away turned around and went back the way they
21:13had came.
21:15It could well have been well after midnight, by the time they got back to the upper room,
21:21where the other disciples were hiding.
21:26So how excited are we about the good news of Easter?
21:29Would we walk eight miles with a stranger, and then walk the eight miles back again,
21:34to tell everyone we had met Jesus?
21:37Or would we roll into bed and think we might phone somebody in the morning?
21:44The disciples, on the other hand, were having a hard time believing what they saw.
21:49They just couldn't quite rationalise it.
21:53They thought they saw a ghost, but yet, not a ghost, for it ate fish.
22:00Nothing was really making any sense, so what was going on?
22:06Jesus opened their minds and told them that he had to die,
22:10and that on the third day it was foretold, he would rise again from the dead.
22:17Slowly they begin to understand, and the events of the last few days
22:22start to form some sort of sense.
22:26Sometimes, life doesn't appear to make a great deal of sense.
22:31Things happen, apparently for no reason, sometimes good and sometimes bad.
22:37We sit perplexed, unable to take in things or understand them.
22:43We are taught at school that we are superior beings,
22:46that we can rationalise everything, and understand everything.
22:52Science has the answers to all questions.
22:56Then something happens that we cannot properly rationalise, and we are knocked out cold.
23:04The simple truth is that we don't need to be able to rationalise everything,
23:08or to understand everything, indeed it is not even healthy to attempt to do so.
23:15At the end of the day, there are so many things that we cannot even begin to understand,
23:20if we are truly honest with ourselves.
23:24Only our God, our Creator, has the answers, and one day, our minds will also be opened,
23:30and we will understand everything.
23:35Until then, let us give thanks to God for the world that we live in,
23:39and for all the mysteries we cannot begin to understand.
23:43Let us stop trying to rationalise, and begin to trust that God knows best.
23:51I believe that God knows what he is doing.
23:59Let us pray.
24:02Lord, we beseech you to keep your household, the church, in continual godliness,
24:09that, through your protection, it may be free from all adversities,
24:14to the glory of your name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
24:29May the Lord bless us, and keep us from all evil,
24:33bringing us to everlasting life. Amen.
