Easter Proclamation!
Exult, let them exult, the hosts of heaven,
exult, let Angel ministers of God exult,
le the trumpet of salvation
sound aloud our might King’s triumph!
Be glad, let earth be glad, as glory floods
her,
ablaze with light from her eternal King,
let all corners of the earth be glad,
knowing an end to gloom and darkness.
Rejoice, let Mother Church also rejoice,
arrayed with the lightning of his glory,
let this holy building shake with joy,
filed with the mighty voices of the
peoples.
It is truly right and just,
with ardent love of mind and heart
and with devoted service of our voice,
to acclaim our God invisible, the
almighty Father,
and Jesus Christ, our Lord, his Son, his
Only Begotten.
We for our sake paid Adam’s debt to the
eternal Father,
and, pouring out his own dear Blood,
wiped clean the record of our ancient
sinfulness.
These then are the feasts of Passover,
in which is slain the Lamb, the one true
Lamb,
whose Blood anoints the doorposts of
believers.
This is the nigh,
when you led our forebears, Israel’s
children,
from slavery in Egypt
And made them pass dry-shod through
the Red Sea.
This is the night
that which even now, throughout the
world,
sets Christian believers apart from
worldly vices
and from the gloom of sin,
leading them to grace
and joining them to his holy ones.
This is the night,
when Christ broke the prison-bars of
death and rose victorious from the
underworld
O wonder of your humble care for us!
O love, O charity beyond all telling,
to ransom a slave you gave away your
Son!
O truly necessary sin of Adam,
destroyed completely by Death of
Christ!
O happy fault
that earned so great, so glorious, a
Redeemer!
The sanctifying power of this night
dispels wickedness, washes faults
away,
restores innocence to the fallen, and
joy to the mourners.
O truly blessed night,
when things of heaven are wed to
those of earth and divine to the human.
On this, your night of grace, O holy
Father,
accept this candle, a solemn offering,
the work of bees and of your servant’s
hands,
an evening sacrifices of praise,
this gift from your most holy Church.
Therefore, O Lord,
we pray you that this candle,
hallowed to the honor of your name,
may persevere undimmed,
to overcome the darkness of this night.
Receive it as a pleasing fragrance,
and let it mingle with the lights of
heaven.
May this flame be found still burning
by the Morning Star:
the one Morning Star who never sets,
Christ your Son,
who, is coming back from death’s
domain,
has shed his peaceful light on
humanity,
and lives and reigns for ever and ever.
Amen.

Thoughts along the Symbolon Journey:
I am gaining new insights on my
Symbolon journey. For example, I have
never thought of contrasting the story of
Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden
with that of Jesus in the Garden of
Gethsemane (Lesson 4: The Story of
Salvation) A wonderful topic for
personal meditation, especially during
Lent.
