Exult, let them exult, the hosts of heaven,
exult, let Angel ministers of God exult,
let the trumpet of salvation
sound aloud our mighty King's triumph!
Be glad, let earth be glad, as glory floods her,
ablaze with light from her eternal King,
let all corners of the earth be glad,
knowing an end to gloom and darkness.
Rejoice, let Mother Church also rejoice,
arrayed with the lightning of his glory,
let this holy building shake with joy,
filled with the mighty voices of the peoples.
(Exultet/The Easter Proclamation of Holy Saturday, excerpt)
Christ our Light, rising in splendor.
The Resurrected Christ is manifest today in the life, liturgy, and Faith of His Holy Church. This is especially true of the example and witness of the Saints.
"GENS SACRANDA POLIS HIC SEMINE NASCITVR ALMO QVAM FECVNDATIS SPIRITVS EDIT AQVIS" (Here a people and city, intended to be sacred, is born from a nourishing seed, which the spirit brings forth from fertile waters)
Jesus Christ is risen today! Alleluia!
