ABLUTION HYMN - ANIMA CHRISTI

1.Soul of my Saviour, sanctify my breast;

Body of Christ, be Thou my saving guest;

Blood of my Saviour; bathe me in Thy tide

Wash me with water flowing from Thy side.

3. Guard and defend me from the foe malign, In death’s dread moments make me only Thine; Call me, and bid me come to Thee on high; When I may praise thee with thy saints for aye.

HE IS NOT HERE, HE IS RISENText: Matthew 28:1-15

Early morning of the first day of the week after the Sabbath, Mary Magdalene and other women came to the tomb and it was empty. The seal had been broken, the large stone laid over the tomb rolled away and the body of the Lord that was laid in the tomb was no longer there. God had caused a violent earthquake and commissioned an angel to roll back the stone and make way for the resurrection.

The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is the central fact of the Christian faith, because as Paul said, without the resurrection, our faith is worthless; we will still be in our sins (I Cor. 15:15), and there will be no Christian Church today.

Thank God Jesus rose from the dead for our salvation and justification. Anyone who puts his/her faith in the risen Christ will have eternal life. Have you taken advantage of the salvation He offers? Have your sins been washed by the Blood He shed on Calvary? If your answer is no, then you can do so right now and rally have a reason to celebrate this Easter. Remember He died to save you.

O Lord, may the power of the resurrection awaken anything in us that is dead in Jesus Name. Amen.

Happy Easter celebration to you all!

Your Vicar and friend
