On Good Friday evening, we follow the Epitaphios through the streets, holding candles.D: And what about Holy Saturday?E: On Holy Saturday, just before midnight, everyone goes to church for the Resurrection. When the priest says “Christ is Risen,” we light our candles with the Holy Light, the bells ring, and in many places there are fireworks too.D: And then you crack the red eggs, right?E: Yes! Cracking the eggs is one of the most fun traditions. And of course, afterwards we eat magiritsa!D: Magiritsa… that's the soup you eat after the Resurrection, right?E: Exactly!

The atmosphere there is even more traditional and festive!D: How lovely! I'd really like to celebrate Easter in a Greek village too.E: We can celebrate together!

Awakening Together Presents Being Aware of Awareness Guided Meditations
In this episode a quote from Dr. Hawkins was contemplated. "To be a servant of God becomes one's goal rather than enlightenment. To be a perfect channel for God's love is to surrender completely and eliminate the goal-seeking of the spiritual ego. Joy itself becomes the initiator of further spiritual work."
In this powerful meditation we unite to call in the Holy Light of Love for the upcoming elections in the United States and for the world. Through a decree for Divine Governance, we invoke the Mighty Angelic Host and Sacred Fire Love to ensure God's Perfection in all people and official places. Let's hold the highest ground and light we possibly can now and stand in the highest Truth, beyond fear and division. From the authority of My Mighty I AM Presence and the aurthority of the Archangels Octave and the authority of the Angelic Host: I demand the descent of the Sacred Fire Eternal Love to charge God's Perfection around and with all elementals, all people, and in all official places. The song beneath this meditation is called become. You'll find it on Jennifer's and Michael Gayle's CD, be. https://jenniferruthrussell.bandcamp.com/

Day 16 of 21 Day Journey "Our Lady of Guadalupe, Queen of Stars and Sun, I stand glorified in your Holy Light; Born anew with power and might as you now open every door to money, magic, miracles and more!" Recently during my morning mantra and meditation practise I was contemplating the power of prayer and received beautiful inspiration from my higher self that I should shift the word ‘prayer' to ‘Decree' and think of prayer and powerful I AM statements as ‘Decrees of Divine Consciousness', where we are held in co-creation with the Universal Laws of Manifestation. A decree is a request that holds the force of Law (Universal Law). It is a renewal of a fresh intention using the power of the spoken word to be made manifest in your spiritual and physical reality.

Today's Reading: John 16:5-15Daily Lectionary: Leviticus 20:1-16, 22-27; Luke 11:37-54 "Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you." (John 16:7) In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. The disciples' plan of salvation was not going in the direction they had hoped. Jesus has been doing miracles, teaching in the synagogues, preparing the people for the kingdom to come and now He was talking about leaving and sending a helper. This was not what they had in mind. Jesus cannot leave. The language of death and resurrection was contrary to the way freedom was usually brought to a nation. Now He is speaking of leaving and sending someone else, and this is to our advantage?Christ's words of departure and promise to send the "Helper" were foreign to the disciples. He was promising the sending of the Holy Spirit to equip and enable them to proclaim the Good News of salvation. God's plan of salvation was completely different from what the disciples had in mind. The disciples sought temporal freedom from the Roman Empire. Christ brought to them eternal freedom through His actions and deeds.In our lives we, too, have our own plans. We want our lives to go as we desire. We fail to see or do not want to see God's work in our lives through Christ. Our sinfulness pulls us back from what Christ has delivered to us and points us to the temporal activities in our own situation. The Holy Spirit works in our lives, waging war against the sinful man and pointing us back to the eternal things of God. He delivers to us the Gift of salvation won for us on the Cross. Through the coming of the Holy Spirit, the disciples proclaimed the message of hope and reconciliation to the churches. It is the same message that is proclaimed today: that Christ delivered us through His life, death, and resurrection. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Come, Holy Light, guide divine, Now cause the Word of life to shine. Teach us to know our God arightAnd call Him Father with delight. From ev'ry error keep us free; Let none but Christ our master beThat we in living faith abide, In Him, our Lord, with all our might confide. Alleluia, alleluia!

Mansour, Nesrine. 2022. "The Holy Light of Cyberspace: Spiritual Experience in a Virtual Church" Religions 13, no. 2: 121. https://www.mdpi.com/2077-1444/13/2/121
Today, Thursday January 27 Jesus is the Light of Life Revelation 1:12-14 “Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire.” When John turns to see the “voice” that spoke to him he saw seven golden lampstands and the Lord Jesus Christ in their midst, with the garments of those of the Great High Priest that we read about in Exodus 28:2-4. We know that the seven golden lampstand represent the seven churches in Asia that John is told to write a book to. As John is given his first vision I think it is interesting to note that he saw Jesus in the midst of His church! Jesus is the Light of Life! Yesterday we talked about the ministry of Jesus to the seven churches. Jesus today in heaven, has the ministry of intercession (Hebrews 7:25). He is praying for us right now!!!! Jesus has the ministry of intervention. He is our advocate pleading our case before our Father (1 John 1 & 2). And Jesus also has the ministry of inspection. Let's look at this ministry a little more today. Remember the Old Testament tabernacle that Moses built in the wilderness at Sinai. It was divided into two rooms. The front room was 15' wide and 30' long and was called the Holy Place. Right behind it was the Most Holy Place, which was a cube room that was 15' by 15' by 15'. The whole tabernacle was 15' wide and 45' long and 15' high. The lampstand (Exodus 25:31-40) was placed in the Holy Place and was the only light there. The Ark of the Covenant with the Mercy Seat on it, was in the Most Holy Place and there was no need for a light there because that's where God dwelt in His own Holy Light between the Cherubim on the Mercy Seat. The high priest had the sole oversight of the lampstand. He was the one who lighted the lamps. He poured in the oil and trimmed the wicks. If one of the lamps began to smoke and did not give a good clear light, he was the one who snuffed it out. The Lord Jesus is walking in the midst of the lampstands today. He is in the midst of His church, made up of individual believers. Jesus is doing several things today. He trims the wicks. Remember in John 15 we are told that Jesus prunes the branches of believers so that they might bring forth fruit. Jesus is the vine, He is the life of the branch! One of the reasons He lets us go through certain trials on earth is so that He might get some fruit off our branches or that He might make our light burn more brightly. Jesus is the One who pours in the oil, which represents the Holy Spirit. The Lord wants light, and He is the One who pours in the Holy Spirit to get that light. If there is any light coming from our lives, it comes from the Holy Spirit. He is the source. No light originates in us! Jesus sometimes uses a snuffer. If a lamp won't give good light and it keeps smoking up the place, the Lord Jesus snuffs it out. Maybe this is what John meant when he said that there is a sin unto death (see 1John 5:16). You and I can be set aside. The Apostle Paul was concerned about this: “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” (1 Corinthians 9:24-27) Oh, what a sad thing to be set aside because of our willful sin and disobedience. Jesus is walking in the midst of the lampstands, and He wants them to produce light. He wants us to let His light shine through our lives to a dark world that desperately needs direction and help in their darkness! (Matthew 5:13-16) God bless!

Psalm 121 2 Kings 2: 1-12 Mark 9: 2-10 Revelations 21: 1-4, 22-25 Hebrews 12: 1-2
Podcast Intro: Holy Water by Tow’rs Mark 9:2-9 (CEB) Jesus transformed 2 Six days later Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and brought them to the top of a very high mountain where they were alone. He was transformed in front of them, 3 and his clothes were amazingly bright, brighter than if they had been bleached white. 4 Elijah and Moses appeared and were talking with Jesus. 5 Peter reacted to all of this by saying to Jesus, “Rabbi, it’s good that we’re here. Let’s make three shrines—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 6 He said this because he didn’t know how to respond, for the three of them were terrified. 7 Then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice spoke from the cloud, “This is my Son, whom I dearly love. Listen to him!” 8 Suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus. 9 As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen until after the Human One[a] had risen from the dead.

A miracle experienced by St Iakovos Tsalkisis on Pascha
Recognition: There is a power and presence in this world. And I am aware of it. And it is aware of me. Why? Why am I aware of it and why do I care to declare my awareness of it right now? Because I am awake to the miracle of being alive. And saying so is an act of honoring what I know. Of not denying it. Of not hiding from it’s power and it truth. I see the miraculous in everything. I know that this life is Holy. I know that this life is Divine. I know that this Universe exceeds my greatest imaginings. And I am humbled by it. And in awe of it. I don’t allow my mind, my ego, or this culture to get in the way of my awareness. And my awe. And my gratitude. Holy light fills every part of the Universe, and it fills me, my consciousness, my soul, my life. Oneness: I live in this light, knowing It is always within me, always guiding me, always accessible to me. Awareness: With the dawn of each new day, I awaken once more to my conscious mind, and I consciously choose not to forget True Nature, not to get caught up in the smoke and mirrors of my ego.Each new day I am new again. Today is a blank slate. Today I am free to create a life in which I delight, a life of creative thinking, health, success and love. Right now, I am new, as if yesterday never were. I forgive anything I need to forgive—mistakes, regrets, actions, and let go of the trivial, and the inconsequential. I know my true self, my soul self, is awakened, untouched by anything that has gone before. I realize my oneness with all people, understanding there is no great or small, no humbled or exalted. The light of love falls upon my world, revealing beauty, truth, and love. Gratitude: Life unfolds before me, and my path is clear. Before me, I see only perfect potential, unlimited possibility, and my fondest dreams fulfilled. What more could I ask for? Surrender: In gratitude, I bask in the light. I release my powerful word And I let it be so. And so it is.

This week America stops to celebrate Thanksgiving. And we have much to be thankful for. Even with all of America's current difficulties, we live in the freest nation on earth-and that's because of the Christians who settled and founded this nation.--On this program, we'll take a closer look at the heritage of freedom we've been given-and we'll alert you to an effort now underway to destroy that heritage and throttle your liberty. We'll also give you an opportunity to do something about it.
The miracle of the Holy Fire, or Holy Light, has happened every year for more than 1600 years. Fire pours out of the stone where Jesus was laid in the tomb.

It's no surprise the rise of interest in studying and sharing the gospel and story of Mary Magdalene. As the Divine Feminine Essence of the Christ Consciousness, Mary Magdalene represents the Sophia, the yin balance of Spirit. A powerful tantra practitioner and student of Queen Isis' Sex Magic School, Mary Magdalene and Jesus would work together to help those to whom they'd cross paths with after being a mentee of Jesus' mother, Mother Mary, another High Priestess of the Queen Isis Magic School. On July 22, 2016, Pope Francis initiated Mary Magdalene as the Apostles of the Apostles, helping heal the centuries of persecution as a prostitute. Mary Magdalene was the anointee to her beloved Jesus. Together, they would help support people during a time when women were inferior to men. During these times, the patriarchy squashed the essence of the Divine Feminine for power and control. As we are on the dawn of a new Golden Era, her voice and her light is making a comeback, during a time in history where it's essential for us to be in alignment with our Highest Self, the Divine Essence of love and compassion. Even after centuries of persecution, Mary Magdalene has remained the Ascendant Master of Unconditional Love. She reminds us to stay true to ourselves and to not allow the persecution of others to deter our bliss, our knowing, our truth, and most importantly, our connection to the Divine. Faye Wylder is one of the leading voices of Mary Magdalene, sharing her message with grace in business and life. One of my personal favorite pray-ers, Faye is a light caster. Radiating her truth and being a vessel to allow the wisdom of Mary Magdalene to enter, she recalls that much of Mary Magdalene's stories have been reflections of Faye's journey as a former sex worker. It was in an initiation in 2012 through breath that Faye found herself baptized by the water with Yesuah holding the towel to dry her off. From there, Faye became a deep devotee to Mary Magdalene. She reminds us that Mary Magdalene reminds us that we are empowered. We are enough. We can call on support, we don't have to do this on our own. Faye Wylder embraces her humanness as a LIGHTCASTER, a Spiritual Mentor, Mama, and Dancer. As a mentor for EnterpRising Feminine Leaders, Faye is passionate to help women activate their sovereignty, and amplify their light, as she naturally increases her spiritual and material affluence. She works closely with the over lighting mentorship of Mary Magdalene, streaming her mystery, message, and Unconditional Love into modern entrepreneurship and living. Serving as a spiritual mentor for over 15 years, Faye has walked to the edge of possibility with countless women, singing songs of sovereignty as they leap into the Holy Light of their Heart, channeling pragmatic and miraculous paradigms through their business, spiritual activism, community service, and daily self-love practice. Weaving embodied divinity with practical, aligned tools, Faye is here to help empower women to upgrade their nervous systems, because let's face it…. making stuff can be scary! She is here to help others really, truly, vibrantly, courageously shine the Light they came to shine, by creating and anchoring new paradigms of Love for humanity through their thriving enterprise.

After a long break while Jonathan decompressed from a life-transforming experience with Martin W. Ball, in Ashland Oregon at the 3rd Annual Exploring Psychedelics Conference, We are BACK with another episode of the Psychedelic Parenting Podcast! This week's show is the 1st half of a 2-part interview with Zoe Helene of Amherst, MA. Today's show was recorded over a couple days last week, on 4/20 and Earth Day with Zoe Helene. Zoe is the founder of Cosmic Sister, which is dedicated to recognizing and elevating feminist voices in the growing Psychedelic Renaissance, and to supporting visionary women in the exploding world of Cannabis business and studies. Zoe is also the wife and partner of ethnobotanist and writer Chris Kilham, and is the manager of the web presence for his site The Medicine Hunter, and has accompanied Chris on many trips to the Amazon and elsewhere, looking for healing plants and soul-transforming experiences. Zoe is an artist, writer, journalist, and visionary explorer in her own right, and has been featured in Boston Magazine, Forbes, Boston Globe, AlterNet, Chicago Tribune, Newsday, MIT Technology Review, Utne Reader and Fast Company. In this episode, Jonathan and Zoe discuss the art of "Psychedelic Mentoring"as an important part of the emerging plant medicine culture in this country, and how even those without their own kids have an important job to do in raising the future members of the Psychedelic Society. They talk about the "Faerie Goddessmothers" who were instrumental in Zoe's life, and how she has embraced her role as "Psychedelic Faerie Goddessmother" to the children of her friends and siblings. Zoe also discusses Earth day and how her Ayahuasca experiences in the Amazon have galvanized her as an environmentalist and animal-rights activitst, and her view that "a baby is a baby," whether they be human animals or non-human animals. She also discusses her deep relationship to the Maui's dolphin of New Zealand, which is currently on the verge of extinction. If you weren't able to make it to Ashland for Exploring Psychedelics this year, Martin Ball will be releasing Jonathan's presentation from that event on The Entheogenic Evolution Podcast in the coming weeks. We will inform you when it goes live. In the meantime, you can check out Jonathan's presentation on Prezi by CLICKING HERE. Tune in next week Wednesday (5/4/2016) for the second 1/2 of Jonathan's interview with Zoe, when we'll be back on track for our weekly Wednesday podcast releases.

On this episode of the Psychedelic Parenting Podcast, Jonathan talks with Stephen Gray, author, speaker, and "emerging elder." Stephen is the organizer and MC of the Spirit Plant Medicine Conference, which will be held next weekend, October 24 & 25, 2015 at the University of British Columbia's Buchanan Building, Room A101, Vancouver BC, Canada, where Psychedelic Parenting host Jonathan will be speaking on the topic of "Reclaiming Religious Freedom and Family Values." Stephen is the Author of the book Returning to Sacred World: A Spiritual Toolkit for Emerging Reality. He also has many years of experience with plant medicine ceremonies in both the Native American Church tradition, as well as the Santo Daime religion. Tickets for Spirit Plant Medicine Conference can be purchased HERE. In this conversation, Stephen and Jonathan discuss the possibility of an emerging distinct medicine tradition for white North Americans, about the role of the sacred feminine in family and religious life, and of taking on the mantle of "elder" as one enters the latter part of life. The highlight of this interview is Stephen's story of the powerful commitment of a friend and respected NAC Roadman whom Stephen calls "Kanucas." Kanukas made a promise to Stephen to attend and speak at the launch event for his book, and even though he was met with a great deal of personal hardships around the time of the launch, Kanucas fulfilled his promise to Stephen. The story is also recounted HERE on Stephen's blog. Enjoy.

Summary of today's show: The Easter Vigil is the Super Bowl of liturgies in the Catholic Church calendar, with our most beautiful prayers and symbols and imagery, encapsulating all of Salvation History. For the first time this Easter, we will hear the prayers using the new translation of the Roman Missal, which restores the beautiful phrase lost over time. Fr. Jonathan Gaspar joins Scot Landry and Fr. Matt Williams to discuss the Easter Vigil and especially to chant the Exsultet, the Easter Proclamation, like you've never heard before. Listen to the show: Today's host(s): Scot Landry and Fr. Matt Williams Today's guest(s): Fr. Jonathan Gaspar, Director of the Office for Divine Worship Links from today's show: Today's topics: The Easter Vigil Liturgy 1st segment: Scot and Fr. Matt discussed the topic for today's show which will be the Super Bowl of liturgies, the Easter Vigil on Saturday evening. Fr. Jonathan Gaspar, the director of the Office for Worship will assist them with examining the Vigil Mass. Fr. Matt will be very busy on Good Friday and Holy Saturday, starting in Nahant and engaging in many service projects with the Hunger for Justice retreat for high school students. Fr. Matt said he has only been the main celebrant of the Easter Vigil liturgy once as a priest, because he's either been a parochial vicar or head of the Office for the New Evangelization of Youth and Young Adults and it's usually the pastor who celebrates. Also, tonight is the last opportunity for The Light Is On For You, to go to confession in any parish or chapel in the archdiocese from 6:30-8pm. Scot welcomed Fr. Jonathan to the show and said over the past year he;s been helping people adapt to the changes in the Roman Missal. Fr. Jonathan said all the texts of the Mass have changed and the Easter vigil is no different. He said the texture of the language is changed, phrases that were lost in the old translation have been restored, including language related to the work of Creation in preparing the liturgy./ Scot said the Mass is usually in two parts: Liturgy of the Word and Liturgy of the Eucharist. But the Easter Vigil is not just two parts. Fr. Jonathan said the Easter vigil is four parts: We begin with the Service of Light, the blessing of the fire in darkness outside of the church. This blazing fire scatters the darkness of night. This goes back to the second century and Eusebius refers to this in the fourth century, saying the Easter fire illuminated the city of Byzantium. The deacon or priest then proclaims the great praise of Easter. Scot talked about taking small children to the Easter Vigil, how they will love seeing all the different aspects. He suggested sitting in the back to see the events surrounding the lighting of candles. Then there is the Liturgy of the Word. There are seven readings from the Old Testament, which are the story of Salvation History, how the love f God for his people culminated in Easter; the Epistle from the New Testament; and the Gospel. Fr. Jonathan said it tells the story of how God remembers his covenant even when we have failed to love him. It tells the story of God calling us back each time, reestablishing his covenant. Finally the Father sends His Son to establish a new eternal covenant that will never be broken. Scot said you can't walk away from the Vigil without being aware of God's love for us. The third part of the Vigil is also different. It's the celebration of the sacraments of initiation for candidates and catechumens. During Lent they have been preparing through prayer and examination of themselves to receive these sacraments. They receive the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, and the Eucharist. This part also helps everyone renew their baptismal promises. In a beautiful way we relight our own candles. The water of the baptism is sprinkled upon the people, reminding us of the blood of the sacrifice of the lambs sprinkled over the people of Israel during the first Passover in Egypt. Scot said it also reminds us of our own baptism. Fr. Jonathan said a funeral liturgy is like a mini-Easter Vigil, from the way t he body is greeted at the door to the church and blessed and carried forward and clothed in baptismal gowns and the use of the paschal candle and more. Fr. Matt said the funeral is first and foremost a celebration of the paschal mystery of Christ. The fourth part is the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Fr. Jonathan said every Mass is a celebration of the special meaning that the Eucharist has on Easter, receiving the risen body and blood of our Lord. Fr. Jonathan said at the cathedral they have the blessing of the fire outside because the rubrics say it should be a roaring fire. Then they will hold a procession around the cathedral. CatholicTV will broadcast the Easter vigil. Scot said the Mass always has to start after dark. Fr. Jonathan said this goes back to the 2nd century. In the 7th century they started creeping back the vigil to Saturday morning, but in 1951 the Vatican released a new text for the vigil that required that it take place after dark and finish before dawn. In the Archdiocese of Boston, parishes cannot begin until after 8pm. How can Christ cast out darkness if the sun is still shining. The symbolism speaks volumes when done in a dark church. Fr. Jonathan said at the beginning of the Liturgy the priest blesses the fire. The fire represents purification, passion, and illumination. The first should represent our passion for evangelization. Dear brethren (brothers and sisters), on this most sacred night, in which our Lord Jesus Christ passed over from death to life, the Church calls upon her sons and daughters, scattered throughout the world, to come together to watch and pray. Ifwe keep the memorial of the Lord's paschal solemnity in this way, listening to his word and celebrating his mysteries, then we shall have the sure hope of sharing his triumph over death and living with him in God. Then the Priest blesses the fire, saying with hands extended: Let us pray. o God, who through your Son bestowed upon the faithful the fire of your glory, sanctify this new fire, we pray, and grant that, by these paschal celebrations, we may be so inflamed with heavenly desires, that with minds made pure we may attain festivities of unending splendor. Through Christ our Lord. R. Amen. They then bless the candle, and the priest inserts some Greek letters and the numbers of the year. The priest then puts five spikes of incense. Incense is part of sacrifice and the incense signifies that the candle itself burns in praise. The incense is inserted in a shape of cross, representing the wounds of Christ. The candles is a symbol of the resurrected and glorified body of Christ. After the blessing of the new fire, one of the ministers brings the paschal candle to the Priest, who cuts a cross into the candle with a stylus. Then he makes the Greek letter Alpha above the cross, the letter Omega below, and the four numerals of the current year between the arms of the cross, saying meanwhile: 1. Christ yesterday and today (he cuts a vertical line); 2. the Beginning and the End (he cuts a horizontal line); 3. the Alpha (he cuts the letter Alpha above the vertical line); 4. and the Omega (he cuts the letter Omega below the vertical line). 5. All time belongs to him (he cuts the first numeral of the current year in the upper left comer of the cross); 6. and all the ages (he cuts the second numeral of the current year in the upper right comer of the cross). 7. To him be glory and power (he cuts the third numeral of the current year in the lower left comer of the cross); 8. through every age and for ever. Amen (he cuts the fourth numeral of the current year in the lower right comer of the cross). [Insert inscription diagram for candle, cf. Missale Romanum, p. 339] When the cutting of the cross and of the other signs has been completed, the Priest may insert five grains of incense into the candle in the form of a cross, meanwhile saying: By his holy (Insert incense diagram for candle, cf. Missale Romanum, p. 339] and glorious wounds, may Christ the Lord guard us and protect us. Amen. The candle is lit from the bonfire and the priest sings, and the deacon leads the procession of the people into the church, reminding us of the Israelites being led by God as a pillar of fire from Egypt through the darkness of the wilderness into the Promised Land. The church is the promised land, a sign of the eternal reward. Scot said he loves to see the church become lit up with the candles held by individual parishioners. It showcases the beauty of the churches lit only by candlelight, showing us how churches have traditionally been lit throughout the centuries. Fr. Jonathan said the new fire blessed in the bonfire is brought into the church by the paschal candle for all the individual candles and all the lamps of the church. The deacon sings a proclamation three times. This when the electric lights are turned on. At this point the Easter proclamation is chanted. Fr. Jonathan said it is an over-excited expresso not Easter joy. In the old liturgy the priests were still in the purple of Lent, while the deacon was in the Easter color of white or gold. He sings of the joy of the Paschal Candle, which tells the story of our redemption and the mystery of the Easter vigil. It probably goes back to the third or fourth century and it originated in or around southern Italy. The chant itself is an ancient chant. There is both a new text and new music this year and it's the only time in the liturgy that Gregorian chant is permitted to be over the top. We heard a recording of the Exsultet made at St. Cecilia Parish in Boston: Exult, let them exult, the hosts of heaven, exult, let Angel ministers of God exult, let the trumpet of salvation sound aloud our mighty King's triumph! Be glad, let earth be glad, as glory floods her, ablaze with light from her eternal King, let all comers of the earth be glad, knowing an end to gloom and darkness. Rejoice, let Mother Church also rejoice, arrayed with the lightning of his glory, let this holy building shake with joy, filled with the mighty voices of the peoples. (Therefore, dearest friends, standing in the awesome glory of this holy light, invoke with me, I ask you, the mercy of God almighty, that he, who has been pleased to number me, though unworthy, among the Levites, may pour into me his light unshadowed, that I may sing this candle's perfect praises). (V. The Lord be with you. R. And with your spirit.) V. Lift up your hearts. R. We lift them up to the Lord. V. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. R. It is right and just. It is truly right and just, with ardent love of mind and heart and with devoted service of our voice, to acclaim our God invisible, the almighty Father, and Jesus Christ, our Lord, his Son, his Only Begotten. Who for our sake paid Adam's debt to the eternal Father, and, pouring out his own dear Blood, wiped clean the record of our ancient sinfulness. These, then, are the feasts of Passover, in which is slain the Lamb, the one true Lamb, whose Blood anoints the doorposts of believers. This was the first section of the Easter Proclamation. Scot said he doesn't recall hearing the beautiful imagery of the building shaking with the voices of the people. That's how he envisions heaven to be: Heaven rocks because everyone participates fully. Fr. Matt said when you've been entering the spirit of Lent and the Triduum, there's a sense of your heartbreaking for Him along with Our Lady. And then the Holy Light and the church lights up and the proclamation says there's great hope in the Resurrection. It's amazing how you enter into realizing that without Christ there is darkness, but with the Resurrection there is great hope and joy. there's something that happens in you that lifts up your spirit. Scot said all of Creation sings aloud the triumph of the cross and all Creation on earth is to be glad. The Church is involved in that. Fr. Jonathan said every single word is packed with joy. He said musically you hear all those beautiful lines. He said parts of the chant sound like bells and he's convinced that when the bells of Westminster Abbey were made, they had this chant in mind. Another line sounds like a trumpet. The music matches up with the imagery of the text. He said are not to be shy as Christians. We have mighty voices because of what we celebrate this evening. At the end of this section, it shows that tonight we celebrate the Christian Passover. For this next section, the music changes, and we hear longer notes for the great mystery that is being proclaimed: This is the night, when once you led our forebears, Israel's children, from slavery in Egypt and made them pass dry-shod through the Red Sea. This is the night that with a pillar of fire banished the darkness of sin. This is the night that even now, throughout the world, sets Christian believers apart from worldly vices and from the gloom of sin, leading them to grace and joining them to his holy ones. This is the night, when Christ broke the prison-bars of death and rose victorious from the underworld. Our birth would have been no gain, had we not been redeemed. O wonder of your humble care for us! O love, O charity beyond all telling, to ransom a slave you gave away your Son! O truly necessary sin of Adam, destroyed completely by the Death of Christ! O happy fault that earned so great, so glorious a Redeemer! O truly blessed night, worthy alone to know the time and hour when Christ rose from the underworld! This is the night of which it is written: The night shall be as bright as day, dazzling is the night for me, and full of gladness. The sanctifying power of this night dispels wickedness, washes faults away, restores innocence to the fallen, and joy to mourners, drives out hatred, fosters concord, and brings down the mighty. On this, your night of grace, O holy Father, accept this candle, a solemn offering, the work of bees and of your servants' hands, an evening sacrifice of praise, this gift from your most holy Church. But now we know the praises of this pillar, which glowing fire ignites for God's honor, a fire into many flames divided, yet never dimmed by sharing of its light, for it is fed by melting wax, drawn out by mother bees to build a torch so precious. O truly blessed night, when things of heaven are wed to those of earth, and divine to the human. Scot said his favorite line was “to ransom a slave you gave away your Son! O truly necessary sin of Adam, destroyed completely by the Death of Christ! O happy fault that earned so great, so glorious a Redeemer!” Fr. Matt said the words before it are different from the previous translation because now they emphasis the love of God, love beyond all telling. Fr. Jonathan said these all come from St. Ambrose's commentary on Scripture. His favorite line is “Our birth would have been no gain,had we not been redeemed.” Fr. Matt recalled the imagery of Christ breaking the prison bars of death. Therefore, O Lord, we pray you that this candle, hallowed to the honor of your name, may persevere undimmed, to overcome the darkness of this night. Receive it as a pleasing fragrance, and let it mingle with the lights of heaven. May this flame be found still burning by the Morning Star: the one Morning Star who never sets, Christ your Son, who, coming back from death's domain, has shed his peaceful light on humanity, and lives and reigns for ever and ever. R. Amen. Scot encourages all listeners to come to the Easter Vigil at any parish in the Archdiocese. Fr. Jonathan said the morning star is the last star seen before the sun comes up. In Christian thought, Christ is the star that never sets.
