Let no one fear death, for the Saviour’s death has set us free.

He that was taken by death has annihilated it!

He descended into Hades and took Hades captive!

He embittered it when it tasted his flesh!

And anticipating this Isaiah exclaimed: “Hades was embittered
when it encountered thee in the lower regions”.

It was embittered, for it was abolished!

It was embittered, for it was mocked!

It was embittered, for it was purged!

It was embittered, for it was despoiled!

It was embittered, for it was bound in chains!

It took a body and came upon God!

It took earth and encountered heaven!

It took what it saw but crumbled before what it had not seen!

O death, where is thy sting? O Hades, where is thy victory?
Christ is risen, and you are overthrown!

Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen!

Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice!

Christ is risen, and life reigns!

Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in a tomb!

For Christ, being raised from the dead,
has become the first-fruits of them that slept.

To him be glory and might unto ages of ages.
Amen. ]]> http://thedomesticzoo.com/2010/04/04/christ-is-risen-6/feed/ 3 february 14th http://thedomesticzoo.com/2010/02/14/valentine/ http://thedomesticzoo.com/2010/02/14/valentine/#comments Sun, 14 Feb 2010 13:02:30 +0000 emily http://thedomesticzoo.com/?p=4798 “Given that St. Valentine was a 3rd century Roman priest who was stoned and beheaded, wouldn’t a more appropriate celebration of the evening be taking one’s steady gal to witness a brutal murder?”
