Paschal Sunday of the Resurrection

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad!
Psalm 118 (Antiphon)

Victimae paschali laudes immolent Christiani.
Let Christians offer sacrificial praises to the paschal victim.

Agnus redemit oves: Christus innocens Patri reconciliavit peccatores.
The lamb has redeemed the sheep: The Innocent Christ has reconciled sinners to the Father.

Mors et vita duello conflixere mirando: dux vitae mortuus, regnat vivus.
Death and life contended in a spectacular battle: the Prince of life, who died, reigns alive.

Dic nobis Maria, quid vidisti in via? 
Tell us, Mary, what did you see on the road? 

Sepulcrum Christi viventis, et gloriam vidi resurgentis: Angelicos testes, sudarium, et vestes.
"I saw the tomb of the living Christ and the glory of his rising, The angelic witnesses, the clothes and the shroud."

Surrexit Christus spes mea: praecedet suos in Galilaeam.
"Christ my hope is arisen; into Galilee, he will go before his own."

Scimus Christum surrexisse a mortuis vere: tu nobis, victor Rex, miserere. Amen. Alleluia!
We know Christ is truly risen from the dead! On us, victor King, have mercy! Amen. Alleluia!


Notre pâque immolée c'est le Christ, rassurons-nous dans la joie un feston de Seigneur.
Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed; let us then feast with joy in the Lord.
