An ancient Easter Prayer and Hymn - heard at the start of the sermon The Crucified One is Risen.
O Queen of Heaven. Rejoice, alleluia.
For He whom thou wast worthy to bear, alleluia, has risen.
As He said, alleluia. Pray for us to God. Alleluia.
Rejoice and be glad, o Virgin Mary. Alleluia.
For the Lord is truly risen. Alleluia.
Let us pray, O God, who by the resurrection of Thy Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ, hast been pleased to give joy to
the whole world, grant, we beseech thee, that through
the intercession of the blessed Virgin Mary, His mother,
we may attain the joys of eternal life through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
