Easter Sunday and Monday 2016
Three words for Easter:
They’re in Latin. Latin often
uses an economy of words where we need to use several more in English. One of
my favorite Easter phrases comes from the Marian antiphon we sing after
Compline during the Easter Season. “Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia!.” There
is a beautiful 3-word phrase in the antiphon that I offer for your meditation
today and tomorrow. Here it is:
Resurrexit
sicut dixit.
He rose (was resurrected) just like he said
he would!
If you want to learn how to
pronounce it correctly, look it up in Google. It’s worth the effort.
Let that be your mantra
throughout the Easter season. If you keep repeating it, it will yield layers of
meaning to you throughout the season. Basically, among other things, the
message is this:
It Really Happened.
If you want, you can use those
three words instead. I tend to prefer the Latin—but that’s just me.
Blessed Easter and Easter season
to you!
