Christ hath burst His prison
April 6
Easter Monday
“Tis the spring of souls today: Christ hath burst His prison;
And from three days’ sleep in death as a Sun hath risen.
All the winter of our sins, long and dark, is flying
From His light, to whom we give laud and praise undying.
Now the queen of seasons, bright with the day of splendor,
With the royal feast of feasts comes its joy to render!”
-St. John of Damascus

And this reverence must be paid even to those sinners whose souls seem to be dead, because it is Christ, who is the life of the soul, who is dead in them; they are His tombs, and Christ in the tomb is potentially the risen Christ...”

BEFORE A CRUCIFIX
Who is this who waits
With arms extended
And wide open hands?
It is Christ, Our Lord.
Nail our hands in your hands to the Cross
Even in the shadow of betrayal

Spy Wednesday
“Where Christ is, Judas is. There always has been and there always will be a bloody hand to take the thirty pieces of silver. But it is curious that Christ is doubted because He is consistent, and does not change, but remains true in every detail to His Passion and its circumstances.”
-Caryll Houselander
