"Jesus lies in the grave. His soul is separated from his body. On the third day, soul and body are reunited and he rises from the tomb. The soldiers and the stone would like to hold him back, but he rises. Thus it is with us. Let nothing hold us back; let us, too, arise to a new life.
What did Jesus do during the forty days he remained on earth? He used it to structure his work, to institute the sacraments, to complete everything. Let your life proceed that way.
Peace came forth from him wherever he went. Let your whole life henceforth be one of blessing and peace. Be eyes for the blind, a staff for the lame, consolation for the discouraged, the way for the erring, and knowledge for the ignorant.
Oh, arise with Jesus, and remain with Jesus, then your flesh will arise in splendor and glory, too. Amen."
