The Easter homily of St. John Chrysostom

Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed. Alleluia! Easter Sunday is the first day of New Creation in the risen Lord Jesus Christ. And every Sunday, the first day of the week, is a little Easter, as the Church participates in the liturgy of the Word and the liturgy of the Table. Jesus enacts this pattern of worship with the two forlorn disciples on the road to Emmaus. In experiencing the risen Lord, their hearts burn within them, as he interprets the Scriptures concerning him. Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him in the breaking of the Bread.

Luke 24:13–35

Almighty God, who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord’s resurrection, may, by your life-giving Spirit, be delivered from sin and raised from death; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
