Easter Sunday


I, he said, am the Christ; I have destroyed death, triumphed over the enemy, trampled hell underfoot, bound the strong one, and taken men up to the heights of heaven:  I am the Christ.
Come, then, all you nations of men, receive forgiveness for the sins that define you.  I am your forgiveness.  I am the Passover that brings salvation.  I am the lamb who was immolated for you.  I am your ransom, your life, your resurrection, your light, I am your salvation and your king.  I will bring you to the heights of heaven.  With my own right hand I will raise you up, and I will show you the eternal Father.

~from an Easter homily by Melito of Sardis, bishop

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!!!
