He is risen

Christians, to the Paschal Victim
offer sacrifice and praise. 
The sheep are ransomed by the Lamb;
and Christ, the undefiled,
hath sinners to his Father reconciled.

Death with life contended:
combat strangely ended!
Life's own Champion, slain,
yet lives to reign.

Tell us, Mary:
say what thou didst see upon the way.

The tomb the Living did enclose;
I saw Christ's glory as He rose! 
The angels there attesting;
shroud with grave-clothes resting.

Christ, my hope, has risen:
He goes before you into Galilee.

That Christ is truly risen
from the dead we know.
Victorious King, Thy mercy show!

The Stations of The Cross (repost)

Any Catholic is familiar with the Stations of the Cross.  Every church we've ever been to has had them, the art work as varied as the churches themselves.

But this set I keep coming back to over and over - Mary Button's "Stations of the Cross - The struggle for LGBT equality"  I find the art work remarkable, and they can reduce me to tears over and over.

Before you judge them - look at them.  Read the commentary.

The artist herself says it best when she says:

"I believe that we can only begin to understand the meaning of the crucifixion when we take away our polished and shiny crosses and look for the cross in our own time, in our own landscape.

When we look for the crucified body of Christ in the stories of people on the margins of our societies, then we are able to live the Gospel and not simply read it."
