Responsorial Psalm...... Psalm 118...... G 81 “This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad!”
Easter Sequence and Alleluia...... Fr. Ricky Manalo Christians, to the Paschal Victim Offer your thankful praises! A Lamb the sheep redeems: Christ, who only is sinless, Reconciles sinners to the Father. Death and life have contended in that combat stupendous: The Prince of life, who died, reigns immortal.
Speak, Mary, declaring What you saw, wayfaring. “The tomb of Christ, who is living, The glory of Jesus’ resurrection;
Bright angels attesting, The shroud and napkin resting. Yes, my Christ my hope is arisen:
To Galilee he goes before you.” Christ indeed from death is risen, our new life obtaining. Have mercy, victor King, ever reigning!
Amen. Alleluia.

But the pains which he endured, Alleluia! Our salvation have procured; Alleluia! Now above the sky he’s King, Alleluia! Where the angels ever sing. Alleluia!
Sing we to our God above, Alleluia! Praise eternal as his love; Alleluia! Praise him, now his might confess, Alleluia! Father, Son and Spirit blest. Alleluia!

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.

Refrain: Resucitó, resucitó, resucitó, aleluya! Aleluya, aleluya, aleluya, resucitó!
La muerte, dónde está la muerte? Dónde está mi muerte? Dónde su victoria?
And death now, vanished is the fear now, banished are my tears now, death has passed away.
The kingdom, praise to God, the kingdom! Raised up to the kingdom, we shall live in love.
Our gladness, blissful in our gladness, this will be our gladness, that he is alive.
With him then, die and live with him then, rise and sing our hymn then, sing Alleluia.

Sing with all the saints in glory, sing the resurrection song! Death and sorrow, earth’s dark story, to the former days belong. All around the clouds are breaking, soon the storms of time shall cease; In God’s likeness we, awaking, know the everlasting peace.
O what glory, far exceeding all that eye has yet perceived! Holiest hearts, for ages pleading, never that full joy conceived. God has promised, Christ prepares it, there on high our welcome waits. Every humble spirit shares it; Christ has passed th’eternal gates.
Life eternal! heaven rejoices; Jesus lives, who once was dead. Shout with Joy, O deathless voices! Child of God, lift up your head! Patriarchs from distant ages, Saints all longing for their heav’n, Prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages, all await the glory giv’n.
