Lights are not used at the Gospel, but only incense. The blessing is asked in the usual way.

The Holy Gospel is written in the twenty-eighth chapter of St. Matthew, beginning at the first verse.

'N the end of the sabbath, as it began

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; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him lo, I have told you.

The Creed is not said, but at the end of the Gospel the Priest says, The Lord be with you, after which Let us pray. The offertory is not said. The Gloria is not said after the Lavabo.

The Secret.

WE beseech thee, O Lord, receive

the prayers of thy people together with this offering of the Holy Sacrifice: that what here is begun in the Paschal Mysteries may avail by the operation of thy grace for our eternal weal. Through Jesus Christ. The Proper Preface.

BUT are wrious Resurrection

UT chiefly are we bound to praise

of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord: for he is the very Paschal Lamb, which was offered for us, and hath taken away the sin of the world; who by his death hath destroyed death, and by his rising to life again hath restored to us everlasting life. Therefore with Angels, &c.

The Peace of the Lord be always with you is said, but the kiss of peace is not given, nor are either the Agnus Dei or Postcommunion Collect said. After the Blessed Sacrament has been consumed, in place of Vespers is said: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, and:

Ps. 117. O praise the Lord, all ye heathen: praise him, all ye nations.

For his merciful kindness is ever more and more toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise the Lord.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, + is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.

The Chapter, hymn and versicles are not said, but the Celebrant begins immediately the following Antiphon to Magnificat, and the choir continue from the asterisk:

N 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. Alleluia.

Then is sung the Magnificat together with the Gloria at the end, and the censing of the Altar is made at the accustomed time. After the repetition of the antiphon the Celebrant says:

V. The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.

POUR

Let us pray.

OUR into us, O Lord, the Spirit of thy love; and as thou dost replenish us with Paschal Sacraments, so of thy loving-kindness make us to be of one heart and mind; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Who liveth. After The Lord be with you, the Deacon turning toward the people sings: Go, the Mass is over, alleluia, alleluia.

R. Thanks be to God, alleluia alleluia.

The Priest, after saying the final prayers, gives the blessing in the usual way.
