Hic est dies verus Dei,
sancto serénus lúmine,
quo díluit sanguis sacer
probrósa mundi crímina.
Fidem refúndit pérditis
cæcósque visu illúminat;
quem non gravi solvit metu
latrónis absolútio?
Opus stupent et ángeli,
pœnam vidéntes córporis
Christóque adhæréntem reum
vitam beátam cárpere.
Mystérium mirábile,
ut ábluat mundi luem,
peccáta tollat ómnium
carnis vítia mundans caro,
Quid hoc potest sublímius,
ut culpa quærat grátiam,
metúmque solvat cáritas
reddátque mors vitam novam?
Esto perénne méntibus
paschále, Iesu, gáudium
et nos renátos grátiæ
tuis triúmphis ággrega.
Iesu, tibi sit glória,
qui morte victa prǽnites,
cum Patre et almo Spíritu,
in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

Love’s redeeming work is done,
fought the fight, the battle won.
Lo, our Sun’s eclipse is o’er!
Lo, he sets in blood no more!
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal!
Christ has burst the gates of hell;
death in vain forbids him rise;
Christ has opened paradise.
Lives again our victor King;
where, O death, is now thy sting?
Dying once, he all doth save;
where thy victory, O grave?
Soar we now where Christ has led,
following our exalted Head;
made like him, like him we rise,
ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
Hail the Lord of earth and heaven!
Praise to thee by both be given:
thee we greet triumphant now;
hail, the Resurrection thou!

| Psalm 68 (69)

Ps 68:14-22Dedérunt in escam meam fel et in siti mea potavérunt me acéto.
14Ego vero oratiónem meam ad te, Dómine,*
in témpore benepláciti, Deus.
In multitúdine misericórdiæ tuæ exáudi me,*
in veritáte salútis tuæ.
15Eripe me de luto, ut non infígar,†
erípiar ab iis, qui odérunt me,*
et de profúndis aquárum.
16Non me demérgat fluctus aquárum,†
neque absórbeat me profúndum,*
neque úrgeat super me púteus os suum.
17Exáudi me, Dómine, quóniam benígna est misericórdia tua;*
secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum réspice in me.
18Et ne avértas fáciem tuam a púero tuo;*
quóniam tríbulor, velóciter exáudi me.
19Accéde ad ánimam meam, víndica eam,*
propter inimícos meos rédime me.
20Tu scis oppróbrium meum*
et confusiónem meam et reveréntiam meam.
In conspéctu tuo sunt omnes, qui tríbulant me;*
21oppróbrium contrívit cor meum, et elángui.
Et sustínui, qui simul contristarétur, et non fuit,*
et qui consolarétur, et non invéni.
22Et dedérunt in escam meam fel,*
et in siti mea potavérunt me acéto.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Dedérunt in escam meam fel et in siti mea potavérunt me acéto.
| Psalm 68 (69)For food they gave me poison, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
But I turn my prayer to you, Lord,
at the acceptable time, my God.
In your great kindness, hear me,
and rescue me with your faithful help.
Tear me from the mire, before I become stuck;
tear me from those who hate me;
tear me from the depths of the waters.
Do not let the waves overwhelm me;
do not let the deep waters swallow me;
do not let the well’s mouth engulf me.
Hear me, Lord, for you are kind and good.
In your abundant mercy, look upon me.
Do not turn your face from your servant:
I am suffering, so hurry to answer me.
Come to my soul and deliver it,
rescue me from my enemies’ attacks.
You know how I am taunted and ashamed;
how I am thrown into confusion.
You can see all those who are troubling me.
Reproach has shattered my heart – I am sick.
I looked for sympathy, but none came;
I looked for a consoler but did not find one.
They gave me bitterness to eat;
when I was thirsty, they gave me vinegar to drink.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
For food they gave me poison, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

| Psalm 68 (69)Seek the Lord, and he will give life to your soul. Alleluia.
I am weak and I suffer,
but your help, O God, will sustain me.
I will praise the name of God in song
and proclaim his greatness with praises.
This will please the Lord more than oxen,
than cattle with their horns and hooves.
Let the humble see and rejoice.
Seek the Lord, and your heart shall live,
for the Lord has heard the needy
and has not despised his captive people.
Let heaven and earth praise him,
the seas and all that swims in them.
For the Lord will make Zion safe
and build up the cities of Judah:
there they will live, the land will be theirs.
The seed of his servants will inherit the land,
and those who love his name will dwell there.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
Seek the Lord, and he will give life to your soul. Alleluia.

Vocatio Videntis confirmaturEgo Ioánnes 1vidi álium ángelum fortem descendéntem de cælo amíctum nube, et iris super caput, et fácies eius erat ut sol, et pedes eius tamquam colúmnæ ignis, 2et habébat in manu sua libéllum apértum. Et pósuit pedem suum déxterum supra mare, sinístrum autem super terram, 3et clamávit voce magna, quemádmodum cum leo rugit. Et cum clamásset, locúta sunt septem tonítrua voces suas. 4Et cum locúta fuíssent septem tonítrua, scriptúrus eram; et audívi vocem de cælo dicéntem: «Signa, quæ locúta sunt septem tonítrua, et noli ea scríbere».
5Et ángelus, quem vidi stantem supra mare et supra terram, levávit manum suam déxteram ad cælum 6et iurávit per Vivéntem in sǽcula sæculórum, qui creávit cælum et ea, quæ in illo sunt, et terram et ea, quæ in ea sunt, et mare et ea, quæ in eo sunt: «Tempus ámplius non erit, 7sed in diébus vocis séptimi ángeli, cum cœ́perit tuba cánere, et consummátum est mystérium Dei, sicut evangelizávit servis suis prophétis».
8Et vox, quam audívi de cælo, íterum loquéntem mecum et dicéntem: «Vade, áccipe librum apértum de manu ángeli stantis supra mare et supra terram». 9Et ábii ad ángelum dicens ei, ut daret mihi libéllum. Et dicit mihi: «Accipe et dévora illum; et fáciet amaricáre ventrem tuum, sed in ore tuo erit dulcis tamquam mel». 10Et accépi libéllum de manu ángeli et devorávi eum, et erat in ore meo tamquam mel dulcis; et cum devorássem eum, amaricátus est venter meus. 11Et dicunt mihi: «Opórtet te íterum prophetáre super pópulis et géntibus et linguis et régibus multis».

The call of the seer is renewedThen I saw another powerful angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were pillars of fire. In his hand he had a small scroll, unrolled; he put his right foot in the sea and his left foot on the land and he shouted so loud, it was like a lion roaring. At this, seven claps of thunder made themselves heard and when the seven thunderclaps had spoken, I was preparing to write, when I heard a voice from heaven say to me, ‘Keep the words of the seven thunderclaps secret and do not write them down.’ Then the angel that I had seen, standing on the sea and the land, raised his right hand to heaven, and swore by the One who lives for ever and ever, and made heaven and all that is in it, and earth and all it bears, and the sea and all it holds, ‘The time of waiting is over; at the time when the seventh angel is heard sounding his trumpet, God’s secret intention will be fulfilled, just as he announced in the Good News told to his servants the prophets.’
Then I heard the voice I had heard from heaven speaking to me again. ‘Go,’ it said ‘and take that open scroll out of the hand of the angel standing on sea and land.’ I went to the angel and asked him to give me the small scroll, and he said, ‘Take it and eat it; it will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth it will taste as sweet as honey.’ So I took it out of the angel’s hand, and swallowed it; it was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach turned sour. Then I was told, ‘You are to prophesy again, this time about many different nations and countries and languages and emperors.’

Crux Christi, salus humani generisDóminus noster a morte conculcátus est et vicíssim eam véluti viam contrívit. Ipse subiécit se morti eámque volens sustínuit, ut mortem noléntem disíceret. Exívit enim Dóminus noster portans crucem, morte id volénte; clamávit autem in cruce et edúxit mórtuos ex ínferis, morte quamvis invíta.
Per corpus quod gerébat occídit eum mors; iísdem armis ipse victóriam de morte reportávit. Occultávit se divínitas sub humanitáte et accéssit ad mortem, quæ occídit et occísa fuit. Occídit mors vitam naturálem, eam vicíssim occídit vita supernaturális.
Quia ígitur non póterat mors devoráre eum absque córpore, neque inférnus eum deglutíre absque carne, venit ille ad Vírginem, ut exínde, sumpto curru, veherétur ad ínferos. In córpore autem assúmpto ingréssus est ínferos, dirípuit gazas eórum et thesáuros dissipávit.
Venit ígitur ad Evam, matrem ómnium vivéntium. Ipsa est vínea, cuius sæpem mors apéruit própriis Evæ mánibus, ut gustáret fructus eius; unde Eva, mater ómnium vivéntium, fons mortis effécta est ómnibus vivéntibus.
Flóruit autem María, nova vitis præ vite antíqua Eva, habitavítque in ea vita nova Christus, ut, morte pascénte et accedénte confidénter pro more, ei in fructu mortáli occultarétur Vita mortis destructíva. Cum ígitur mors absorbuísset eum, nihil timens, liberávit vitam et cum ea multos.
Exímius idem fabri fílius, qui evéxit crucem suam supra ínferos ómnia deglutiéntes, étiam humánum genus in domum vitæ tránstulit. Quia autem per lignum delápsum erat humánum genus in inferióra loca, super lignum tránsiit in domum vitæ. In quo ígitur ligno insértus fúerat acérbus, súrculus insértus fuit dulcis, ut agnoscámus eum, cui nulla resístit creatúra.
Tibi glória! qui crucem tuam pontem exstruxísti super mortem, ut per eam tránseant ánimæ e regióne mortis in regiónem vitæ.
Tibi glória! qui induísti corpus hóminis mortális illúdque fontem vitæ effecísti ómnibus mortálibus.
Tu plane vivis; nam occisóres tui véluti agrícolæ egérunt erga vitam tuam; scílicet eam tamquam tríticum in profúndo seminárunt, ut inde resúrgeret et secum suscitáret multos.
Veníte, offerámus amórem nostrum sacrifícium magnum et universále, ditíssima effundámus cántica et oratiónes ei qui óbtulit crucem suam sacrifícium Deo, ut ex illa nos omnes ditésceret.

The cross of Christ gives life to the human raceDeath trampled our Lord underfoot, but he in his turn treated death as a highroad for his own feet. He submitted to it, enduring it willingly, because by this means he would be able to destroy death in spite of itself. Death had its own way when our Lord went out from Jerusalem carrying his cross; but when by a loud cry from that cross he summoned the dead from the underworld, death was powerless to prevent it.
Death slew him by means of the body which he had assumed, but that same body proved to be the weapon with which he conquered death. Concealed beneath the cloak of his manhood, his godhead engaged death in combat; but in slaying our Lord, death itself was slain. It was able to kill natural human life, but was itself killed by the life that is above the nature of man.
Death could not devour our Lord unless he possessed a body, neither could hell swallow him up unless he bore our flesh; and so he came in search of a chariot in which to ride to the underworld. This chariot was the body which he received from the Virgin; in it he invaded death’s fortress, broke open its strong-room and scattered all its treasure.
At length he came upon Eve, the mother of all the living. She was that vineyard whose enclosure her own hands had enabled death to violate, so that she could taste its fruit; thus the mother of all the living became the source of death for every living creature. But in her stead Mary grew up, a new vine in place of the old. Christ, the new life, dwelt within her. When death, with its customary impudence, came foraging for her mortal fruit, it encountered its own destruction in the hidden life that fruit contained. All unsuspecting, it swallowed him up, and in so doing released life itself and set free a multitude of men.
He who was also the carpenter’s glorious son set up his cross above death’s all-consuming jaws, and led the human race into the dwelling place of life. Since a tree had brought about the downfall of mankind, it was upon a tree that mankind crossed over to the realm of life. Bitter was the branch that had once been grafted upon that ancient tree, but sweet the young shoot that has now been grafted in, the shoot in which we are meant to recognise the Lord whom no creature can resist.
We give glory to you, Lord, who raised up your cross to span the jaws of death like a bridge by which souls might pass from the region of the dead to the land of the living. We give glory to you who put on the body of a single mortal man and made it the source of life for every other mortal man. You are incontestably alive. Your murderers sowed your living body in the earth as farmers sow grain, but it sprang up and yielded an abundant harvest of men raised from the dead.
Come then, my brothers and sisters, let us offer our Lord the great and all-embracing sacrifice of our love, pouring out our treasury of hymns and prayers before him who offered his cross in sacrifice to God for the enrichment of us all.

℟. Ubi est, mors, victória tua? Ubi est, mors, stímulus tuus? Stímulus mortis peccátum est;* Deo autem grátias, qui dedit nobis victóriam per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, allelúia.
℣. Habéntes spíritum fídei, crédimus quóniam qui suscitávit Iesum et nos cum Iesu suscitábit.* Deo autem.

℟. Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting? Now the sting of death is sin,* but let us thank God for giving us victory over sin through our Lord Jesus Christ, alleluia.
