EPISTLE
I Corinthians 5: 7, 8 Lesson from the Epistle of
Blessed Paul the Apostle to the Corithians.
Lectio Epistolae beati Pauli Apostoli ad Corinthios.
[Let us too partake of the Lamb of God with the azyma (unleavened bread)
of a pure and holy life.]
Brethren, purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new paste, as you
are unleavened: for Christ our Pasch is sacrificed. Therefore let us
feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and
wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

ever.

SEQUENCE
Christians! to the Paschal Victim offer your thankful praises.
The Lamb the sheep redeemeth: Christ, who only is sinless, reconcileth
sinners to the Father.
Death and life contended in that conflict stupendous: the Prince of
Life, who died, deathless reigneth.
Speak, Mary, declaring what thou sawest wayfaring.
"The tomb of Christ who now liveth: and likewise the glory of the Risen.
Bright Angels attesting, the shroud and napkin resting.
Yea, Christ my hope is arisen: to Galilee He goeth before you."
We know that Christ is risen, henceforth ever living: Have mercy, Victor
King, pardon giving. Amen. Alleluia.
GOSPEL
Mark 16:1-7
At
that time, Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of
James, and Salome brought sweet spices, that
coming they might anoint Jesus. And very early
in the morning, the first day of the week, they
came to the sepulchre, the sun being now risen.
And they said one to another: Who shall roll us
back the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
And looking, they saw the stone rolled back. For
it was very great. And entering into the
sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the
right side, clothed with a white robe, and they
were astonished. Who saith to them, Be not
affrighted; ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was
crucified: He is risen, He is not here; behold
the place where they laid Him. But go, tell His
disciples, and Peter, that He goeth before you
into Galilee; there you shall see Him, as He
told you.
OFFERTORY
Psalm 75: 9-10 The earth trembled and was
still when God arose in judgment, alleluia.

it truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, at all times to
