Christians, to the Paschal Victim offer sacrifice and praise. The sheep are ransomed by the Lamb; and Christ, the undefiled, hath sinners to his Father reconciled. Death with life contended: combat strangely ended! Life’s own Champion, slain, yet lives to reign. Tell us, Mary: say what thou didst see upon the way. The tomb the Living did enclose; I saw Christ’s glory as he rose! The angels there attesting; shroud with grave-clothes resting. Christ, my hope, has risen: he goes before you into Galilee. That Christ is truly risen from the dead we know. Victorious king, thy mercy show!

This landing and campaign was a complete and utter disaster, with a massive amount of lives lost on both sides of the conflict. We mark this each and every year, not to glorify war, but rather to remember the evil of it, so that we may not make the same mistakes again. We must each of us as we remember the fallen of all wars and those who came home both with visible and invisible wounds, do all we can to take the love and peace of our Risen Lord to all. We must act in ways that will draw away from conflict. The best way to do this is to pray for those who persecute us. If we do this and treat all people with love we will honour the fallen and their sacrifice would not have been in vain. Lest we forget.
