The Collect.
ALMIGHTY God, who through thine only-begotten Son Jesus Christ
hast overcome death, and opened unto us the gate of everlasting life: We humbly
beseech thee that, as by thy special grace preventing us thou dost put into our
minds good desires, so by thy continual help we may bring the same to good
effect; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with
thee and the Holy Ghost ever, one God, world without end. Amen.
The Epistle. Colossians 2:10-15.
YE are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
in whom also ye are circumcised with. the circumcision made without hands, in
putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith
of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you, being dead
in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together
with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; blotting out the handwriting of
ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of
the way, nailing it to his cross; and having spoiled principalities and powers,
he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
The Gradual Ps 118:22-25
23 This is the LORD’S doing, * and it is marvellous in our eyes. Alleluia!
24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; * we will rejoice and be glad in it. Alleluia!
25 Help me now, O LORD: * O LORD, send us now prosperity. Alleluia!
The Gospel. St. Matthew 28: 1-10.
IN the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day
of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And,
behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from
heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His
countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: and for fear of
him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and
said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was
crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place
where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen
from the dead; aiid, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye
see him: lo, I have told you. And they departed quickly
from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring
his disciples word. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met
them, say-^g, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and Worshipped
him. Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go
into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

The Epistle, I Peter 1:3-5, 13-21.
BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which
according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by
the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance
incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for
you, who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be
revealed in the last time. Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober,
and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the
revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according
to the former lusts in your ignorance: but as he "which hath called you is
holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye
holy; for I am holy. And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons
pdgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in
fear: forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things,
as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your
fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish
and without spot: who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the
world, but was manifest in these last times for you, who by him do believe in
God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and
hope might be in God.

The Gospel. St. John 20:11-18.
MARY stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she
stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, and seeth two angels in white
sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of
Jesus had lain. And they say unto her, Woman, why weep-est thou? She saith unto
them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not -where they have
laid him. And when
she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus
standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest
thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him,
Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will
take him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto
him, Rab-boni; which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for
I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I
ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Mary
Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he
had spoken these things unto her.
