to be taken down from the cross by thy friends, and to be laid in the arms of thy most afflicted mother, and didst permit it to be wrapped by her in winding-sheets, and laid in the sepulchre, and there to be guarded by soldiers.
Eternal honor be to thee, my Lord Jesus Christ, who didst rise from the dead on the third day, and didst manifest thyself alive to such as thou didst wish; and after forty days, didst ascend in the sight of many to heaven, and didst there honorably place thy friends whom thou hadst delivered from limbo.
Eternal praise and jubilee be to thee, my Lord Jesus Christ, who didst send down thy Holy Spirit into the hearts of thy disciples, and didst augment in their spirits immense divine love.
Blessed be thou, and pleased and glorious forever, my Lord Jesus, who sittest on the throne in thy kingdom of heaven, in the glory of thy divinity, living corporally with all thy most holy members, which thou didst assume of the flesh of a Virgin. And thus thou wilt come on the day of judgment to judge the souls of all, living and dead. Who livest and reignest with the Father and Holy Ghost, for ever and ever. Amen.
