Christ
is
risen.
If
you
have
been
to
a
Posca
service
before,
then
you've
probably
heard
what
I'm
about
to
read.
This
is
the
Pasco
homily
of
Saint
John
Christasum.
If
anyone
is
devout
and
a
lover
of
God,
let
him
enjoy
this
beautiful
and
radiant
festival.
If
anyone
is
a
wise
servant,
let
him
rejoicing
enter
into
the
joy
of
his
Lord.
If
anyone
has
wearied
himself
in
fasting,
let
him
now
receive
his
recompense.
If
anyone
has
labored
from
the
first
hour,
let
him
today
receive
his
just
reward.
If
anyone
has
come
at
the
third
hour
with
thanksgiving,
let
him
keep
the
feast.
If
anyone
has
arrived
at
the
sixth
hour,
let
him
have
no
misgivings,
for
he
shall
suffer
no
loss.
If
anyone
has
delayed
until
the
ninth
hour,
let
him
draw
near
without
hesitation.
If
anyone
has
arrived
even
at
the
eleventh
hour,
let
him
not
fear
on
account
of
his
delay.
For
the
master
is
gracious
and
receives
the
last
even
as
the
first.
He
gives
rest
to
him
that
comes
at
the
eleventh
hour,
just
as
to
him
who
has
labored
from
the
first.
He
has
mercy
upon
the
last
and
cares
for
the
first.
To
the
one
he
gives,
and
to
the
other
he
is
gracious.
He
both
honors
the
work
and
praises
the
intention.
Enter
all
of
you,
therefore,
into
the
joy
of
the
Lord,
and
whether
first
or
last
receive
your
reward.
Rich
and
poor
one
with
another
dance
for
joy.
You
aesthetics
and
you
negligent
celebrate
the
day.
You
that
have
fasted
and
you
that
have
disregarded
the
fast
rejoice
today.
The
table
is
rich
laden,
feast
royally
all
of
you.
Let
all
partake
of
the
feast
of
faith.
Let
all
receive
the
riches
of
goodness.
Let
no
one
lament
his
poverty,
for
the
universal
kingdom
has
been
revealed.
Let
no
one
mourn
his
transgressions,
for
pardon
has
dawned
from
the
grave.
Let
no
one
fear
death,
for
the
Savior's
death
has
set
us
free.
He
that
was
taken
by
death
has
annihilated
it.
He
descended
into
Hades
and
took
Hades
captive.
He
vexed
it
when
it
tasted
his
flesh.
And
anticipating
this
Isaiah
exclaimed,
O
hell
has
been
vexed
when
it
encountered
thee
in
the
lower
regions.
It
is
vexed,
for
it
is
abolished.
It
is
vexed,
for
it
is
mocked.
It
is
vexed,
for
it
is
purged.
It
is
vexed,
for
it
is
despoiled.
It
is
vexed,
for
it
is
bound
in
chains.
It
took
a
body
and
face
to
face
met
God.
It
took
earth
and
encountered
heaven.
It
took
what
it
saw
but
crumbled
before
what
it
had
not
seen.
O
death
where
is
thy
sting?
O
Hades,
where
is
thy
victory?
Christ
is
risen,
and
hell
is
overthrown.
Christ
is
risen,
and
the
demons
are
fallen.
Christ
is
risen
and
the
angels
rejoice.
Christ
is
risen
and
life
reigns.
Christ
is
risen,
and
not
one
dead
remains
in
a
tomb.
For
Christ
being
raised
from
the
dead
has
become
the
first
fruits
of
them
that
slept.
To
him
be
glory
and
might
unto
ages
of
ages.
Amen.
