ENTRY.
Dear brothers, this is a day of celebration. Christ has risen and this
it is the victory that we solemnly celebrate with the entire Church. Christ
he is alive!
This is Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord, a
celebration filled with immense joy, caused by our
hope in eternal life: if through baptism we have died
with Christ to sin, we know that we will also rise with Him.
Let us then prepare ourselves, with a new heart full of light, to
celebrating these sacred mysteries, standing up and chanting the
entrance song.
BIBLE ENTRY.
Let us receive brothers with great respect for the sacred scriptures, to
our Holy Bible, which contains the great teachings of our
God. With all due respect, we receive the Word of God.
PROCLAMATION OF FAITH.
In the Holy Scriptures, there is the eternal Word of the Father that us
guides and nourishes us in our life as believers. With one voice we make
our proclamation of Faith to the Eternal Word.
YOUR WORD IS RESURRECTION
YOUR WORD IS LIFE
YOUR WORD IS LOVE
YOUR WORD IS SACRIFICE
Now, we bow our heads, and together as brothers, we say with life
voice:
BLESS YOUR PEOPLE, LORD, WITH YOUR WORD.
