Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Happy Easter!

April 24, 2011

We have had a lovely day filled with Easter morning Mass, a wonderful dinner of ham, green beans (seasoned w/bacon and onion of course), cheese biscuits, pink stuff, and deviled eggs. Naturally there is plenty of candy too. Although it has been rainy all day, the joy that is within me has kept my spirit bright. I leave you with a small portion of the Exsultet which is sung at every Holy Saturday Mass in the dark of the church that is illuminated only by candles and illuminated it is! It is always amazing to me how many candles burning brightly together can bring forth so much light – yes, there is a parable in there somewhere I’m sure. Happy Easter Season!!

Rejoice heavenly powers! Sing choirs of angels!

Exult all creation around God’s throne!

Jesus Christ our King is risen!

Sound the trumpet of salvation!

The power of this holy night dispels all evil, washes guilt away, restores lost innocence, brings mourners joy

It casts out hatred, brings us peace, and humbles earthly pride.
