Directing Your Easter Prayers

 “The morn has spread her crimson rays,

When rang the skies with shouts of praise;

Earth joined the joyful hymn to swell,

That brought despair to vanquished hell.

With Christ we died, with Christ we rose,

When at the font His name we chose;

Oh, let not sin our robes defile,

And turn to grief the Paschal smile.”

(Roman Breviary, Easter 5th century)
