Truly, He is Risen!
Level I (Children's House): Alleluia!! Take some time this week to write and decorate an Alleluia card or draw an Easter Candle, embellishing your work to show the joy of the Risen Light! Sing some Alleluia songs today and throughout your week! We have been waiting so long to sing this beautiful word! | Sequence Victimae Paschali Laudes 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, 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. Level II/III (Elementary): Victimae Paschali Laudes A sequence is a song that comes before the Gospel on a special feast. There are only five sequences currently used in the liturgy. This week, read through the sequence for Easter, enjoying its beautiful images. Is there one line you would like to copy and illustrate? Or perhaps you would like to write the whole prayer. |
