and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Postlude
Mark 16:1-8 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
The Resurrection of Jesus
16 When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and
Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. 2 And very early on the first
day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. 3 They had been saying
to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the
tomb?” 4 When they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had
already been rolled back. 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man, dressed in a
white robe, sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. 6 But he said to them, “Do
not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been
raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and
Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told
you.” 8 So they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized
them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.[a]
Celtic Alleluia!
