Every Holy Week, the Church puts before us two great mysteries. The first is that Life itself, the Son of God through Whom everything was created, died and was buried. The second is that Christ, a Man (as St. Paul teaches) “like us in every way except sin” (Heb. 4:15), rose from the dead. God came to this world to die so that we may live with Him. As great a common enemy death is for us, so great is the victory that we celebrate tonight. St. Paul acclaims, “O death where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” (1 Cor. 15:55) Every Holy Week, the Church puts before us two great mysteries.
