“But go, tell His Disciples - and Peter -
that He is going before you into
Galilee; there you will see Him, as
He said to you.”
they went out quickly and fled
from the Tomb, trembling and
amazed. And they said nothing to
anyone, for they were afraid.
My Saviour and Deliverer, from the
Tomb as God raised from their
bonds those born of earth and
smashed the Gates of Hades and, as
Master, Arose on the third day.
Neither the tomb nor Death has power
over the Theotokos, who is Ever/
watchful in her Prayers and in whose
Intercession lies unfailing Hope. For
as the Mother of Life she has been
transported into Life by Him Who
dwelt within her Ever Virgin Womb.
Let all of us who are born of earth sing
the praises of Christ the Governor of
Life Who Rose from the dead on the
third day from the Tomb, and by His
Power today smashed the Gates of
Death, put Hades to death and
crushed the sting of Death, set Adam
free with Eve, as with thanksgiving
we cry aloud our fervent praise: For
He as alone the Mighty God and
Master, Arose on the third day.
Set a rampart about my mind, O my
Saviour, for I make bold to sing the
praises of Thy Most Pure Mother, the
Rampart of the world. Establish me
firmly within the fortress of my
words and make me strong within the
defences of my thoughts: for Thou
promises to fulfil the Petitions of
those who entreat Thee with Faith.
Endue me with a tongue and ready
speech, and with thoughts that are
without shame: for every Gift of
Enlightenment is sent down from
Thee, O Guiding Light, Who dwelt
within Her Ever/ Virgin Womb.
