Sunday, March 31 : Book of hours of Sinai

Listen, Adam, and rejoice with Eve, because the one who had deceived you and stripped you, had making you captive, on the cross of Christ was rendered helpless. Today, O Christ, by your power you have abolished the empire of Death, and you have delivered, giver of life, the souls of men, thanks to your resurrection, you our Savior. Like the multitude of angels in heaven, so the human race on earth celebrates the all holy resurrection, Lord. Today Christ is risen from the tomb, from which he draws forth incorruptibility for all mortals. In his mercy he inaugurates for those who carried the holy oils of annointing, the joy of the resurrection. Wake us up from the grave of sin, we that many passions had put to death, Savior, who by your resurrection destroyed the tyranny of death, true friend of man. Rejoice, sages carrying perfume, women who first saw the resurrection of Christ and announced to his apostles the resurrection of the whole world. I adore you, Father without beginning who is life, I love your eternal Son with you who is life, giver of life that is the Holy Spirit: I glorify the only true fount of life.
