CLOSING*
The Resurrection of Jesus
Pr.:
We adore You, O
Christ, and we praise You.
(GENUFLECT)
All:
Because by your
holy Cross-You have redeemed the world.
Pr.:
When the Sabbath
was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought
spices that they might go and anoint Jesus. Very early on the first day of
the week, when the sun had just risen, they came to the tomb. They were
saying to one another, "Who will roll the stone back from the entrance of
the tomb for us?", for it was very large. But looking up they saw that the
stone had been rolled back, and upon entering the tomb they were amazed to
see a young man sitting at the right side and clothed in a white robe. He
said to them, "Do not be terrified. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth,
who was crucified. He has risen, he is not here. Behold the place where they
laid him."
(Mk. 16, 1 to 6)
(REMAIN STANDING)
All:
I believe in God,
the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth; / and in Jesus Christ, his
only Son, our Lord, / who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the
Virgin Mary, / suffered under Pontius Pilate, / was crucified, died, and was
buried. / He descended into hell; / the third day he arose again from the
dead; / he ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God, the
Father almighty; / from there he shall come to judge the living and the
dead. / I believe in the Holy Spirit, / the holy Catholic Church, / the
communion of saints, / the forgiveness of sins, / the resurrection of the
body, / and life everlasting. / Amen.
