Easter mystery of the Resurrection Church tries to make the language of symbols. Three great symbols of the Easter liturgy dominate: light, water and the "new song" - Hallelujah. Those who wait on the night of Easter in a dark church on Easter light, must embrace the consolation that God knows that black night. In the middle of the already lit their light : "Lumen Christi" - "Deo Gratias."
night only teaches us what it means light. It is the clarity, warmth, life, is a vision of the future, eschatological feast of light, it is a premonition of a wedding table with God. Do you sit down with him to the table? Is my glass of olive oil is enough, I joined the wedding procession of the Divine Spouse?
Easter
second element is the water that somehow weds a light by triple immersion in the Easter Candle. Water symbolizes the earth's riches. Easter night telling us that there is a source of all sources of water above the earth, the source of the most wonderful, the source of the pierced side of Jesus. At the time of baptism is the source of fluid from the Cross of Christ as a mighty river of grace by the whole Church, and "City of God, rejoice" (Ps. 45, 5).
Easter
third element is the "new song" - Hallelujah. Hallelujah is simply a joy that sings itself, joy, and wishing to express what words can not express. Hallelujah - that the third element of the symbolic drama of the liturgy of Easter - it's basically the same man in which lies this strange inability to sing and rejoice in the man but with such a prospect! Is it really in this day of the Resurrection can not for once forget about all that poor and small, to this huge, wonderful opportunity to our future, a chance given to us today. in a mysterious inherent in man?
(Cardinal Reflections. Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, from 1979.)
Let us rejoice because the Lord is risen!
May the Risen Christ, the conqueror of death
Dispelling any doubts and worries
Let raise in us faith and hope
And boundless confidence
Let Him fill us with true peace
Dispelling any doubts and worries
Let raise in us faith and hope
And boundless confidence
Let Him fill us with true peace
