We mortals cannot
abide in our pomp,
O God; we are like
the animals that perish.
Nevertheless, when
Peter ran to the tomb
and he found it
empty, he was amazed.
Paul tells us of a
mystery--we will not
all die, but we will
all be changed.
God, the mystery
amazing to me:
Instead of redeeming
your son,
you gave him to
redeem us.
