Resurrection

Canon S45

"After the sabbath, at the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to visit the tomb. Suddenly there was a violent earthquake: an angel of the Lord descending from heaven, came to the stone, rolled it from the entrance of the tome, and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning and his garment white as snow. The guards trembled in fear and became like dead men when they saw the angel.

"The angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he is risen as he said. Come, see the place where they laid him; then go at once and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead and is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. This is my message for you.'

"They left the tomb at once in holy fear, yet with great joy, and they ran to tell the news to the disciples.

"Suddenly, Jesus met them on the way and said, 'Peace.' The women approached him, embraced his feet and worshiped him. But Jesus said to them, 'Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to set out for Galilee; there they will see me.'"

MATTHEW 28:1-10

"Lord, make my life a witness to Your resurrection power."
