Christ the Lord is risen! (Douglas Horton / St. John of Damascus)

 

On Easter Day the veil
between time and eternity
thins to gossamer.

--Douglas Horton

Now let the heavens be joyful,
Let earth her song begin:
Let the round world keep triumph,
And all that is therein;
Invisible and visible,
Their notes let all things blend,
For Christ the Lord is risen
Our joy that hath no end. 

--Saint John of Damascus 

Happy Easter from
Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Mill Valley!
