“Remember how He spoke to you
when He was still in Galilee, saying:
‘The Son of Man must be
delivered into the hands of sinful
men, and be crucified, and the

And they remembered His Words, and

It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary, 1 ton

Traditions of Christ received within
themselves the Enlightenment and
Divine Radiance of the Holy Spirit,
they declared the Supernatural

phraseology concise, while sublime
in significance. Clearly these
Enlightened and Blessed men,
receiving from on High this
Revelation, promulgated the decision
taught by God.

together all their pastoral science,
and when they had stirred their
most Righteous Anger now
Justifiably, they drove out with the
sling of the Holy Spirit the offensive
and corruptive wolves, and from the
complement of the Church of Christ
they expelled them all, as having
fallen mortally and as being ill and
incurable. Thus they demonstrated
themselves to be True Servants of
the Lord, and Sacred Mystics of the
Divine Preaching Inspired by God.

Come, all ye Nations, acknowledge the
Power of the dread Mystery; for
Christ our Saviour, the Word in the
beginning, was Crucified for us and
willingly buried and Arose from the
dead to Save the whole Universe: Let
us Worship Him!
Praise God in His Saints; praise Him
in the firmament of His Power.
Thy guards recounted all the Marvels, O
Lord, but, by filling their right hand
with gifts, the Sanhedrin of folly
thought to conceal Thy Resurrection,
which the world Glorifies: Have
Mercy on us!
Praise Him for His Mighty Acts;
praise Him according to the
greatness of His Majesty
receiving proof of the Resurrection.
For Mary Magdalene came to the
Tomb, found an Angel seated on the
stone, and dazzling in shining
raiment, who said: Why dost ye seek
the Living with the dead? He is not
here, but He has Arisen as He said,
and goes before you into Galilee.
Praise Him with the sound of the
trumpet; praise Him with lute and
harp.
In Thy Light, O Master Who Loves
mankind, we shall see Light. For
Thou Arose from the dead, granting
Salvation to the human race, so that
all Creation may Glorify Thee, the
Only Sinless One: Have Mercy on us!
