The Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday evening is the high point of the Church Year. It is the Christian Passover, as we recall the journey that we make from death to life in the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Vigil has four movements: the blessing and lighting of the Paschal Candle; reading from Scripture the story of our creation and redemption; the renewal of baptismal commitment; the celebration of the Eucharist.
This simple devotion to use in our homes on Holy Saturday evening reflects those four elements, and begins the celebration of Easter for us.
Lighting an Easter Candle
Before you light the candle pray:
Christ yesterday and today the Beginning and the End the Alpha and the Omega. All time belongs to him and all the ages. To him be glory and power through every age and for ever. Amen
As you light the candle say:
May the light of Christ rising in glory dispel the darkness of our hearts and minds. Exult, let them exult, the hosts of heaven, exult, let Angel ministers of God exult, let the trumpet of salvation sound aloud our mighty King's triumph! Be glad, let earth be glad, as glory floods her, ablaze with light from her eternal King, let all corners of the earth be glad, knowing an end to gloom and darkness. Amen
Readings
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Genesis 1: 26-27
When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son. But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here am I.” He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
Genesis 22: 9-13
The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen; of all the host of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea, not one of them remained. But the people of Israel walked on dry ground through the sea, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.Thus the Lord saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. Israel saw the great power that the Lord used against the Egyptians, so the people feared the Lord, and they believed in the Lord and in his servant Moses.
Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord, saying, “I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea.
Exodus 14:28 – 15.1
“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labour for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David.”
Isaiah 55:1-3
I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleanness, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules. You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Ezekiel 36:24-28
Do you not know that all of us who have been baptised into Christ Jesus were baptised into his death? We were buried, therefore, with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.
Romans 6.3-5
The Easter Alleluia
Having read the story of creation and redemption we acclaim the resurrection with the return of the Alleluia, which we have refrained from using during Lent.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed;
let us celebrate the feast then, in the Lord.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Gospel Reading Matthew 28:1-10
Now after the Sabbath, towards the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshipped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
Reflection ...
“The Light of Christ rising in glory.” Those words begin the great Easter Vigil tonight as the Paschal Candle is lit in the darkness, and in many ways the readings and prayers that we use tonight speak of the triumph of light over darkness.
In the full Vigil that we are used to in church the first of the Scripture Readings is always the story of creation from Genesis. We hear about God saying “let there be light” as the story tells us that light makes life possible. When we arrive at the account of the resurrection it is as if we hear God saying “let there be light” again. The ‘night’ of the grave has passed as Jesus rises from the dead. Life is stronger than death. Good is stronger than evil. Earlier this week in St Matthew’s account of the death of Jesus we heard about the darkness that covered the land at his crucifixion; this is now driven away as Jesus rises from the grave and becomes God’s pure light.
The discovery of Holy Saturday night is that we are drawn into that new light of Christ, for the risen Jesus is God’s new day, new for all of us. When we were baptised God’s new day, the day of indestructible life, came to us. Christ took us by the hand to walk with him into the light, into real life. For the Early Church tonight was the night for baptising, which they called illumination. Remember your baptism into Christ tonight, your becoming part of his community of light.
“May the light of Christ rising in glory dispel the darkness of our hearts and minds.” It feels that at the moment we are in a time of particular darkness: the darkness that has come to the world through sickness, anxiety, grief. The light of the risen Christ, of which your candle is a symbol, still shines. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (John 1:5) It calls us to join with him in allowing his light to break into our world, and to open our eyes to the true light.
So let us pray to the Lord at this time that he may grant us to experience something of the joy of his light even in the midst of anguish; let us pray that we may become bearers of that light, that through us Christ’s radiant face may enter our world.
Alleluia! Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
Renewal of Baptismal Commitment
The Apostles Creed is the basis for the profession of faith at Baptism. On this night when we renew that covenant with God we use that Creed to affirm the faith we share with the whole Church:
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
Amen
Prayers
In joy and hope let us pray to the Father. That our risen Saviour may fill us with the joy of his glorious and life-giving resurrection: Lord, hear us.
That those who lead the nations may be granted the gifts of wisdom and discernment: Lord, hear us.
That he may reveal the light of his presence to the sick, the weak and the dying, to comfort and strengthen them: Lord, hear us.
That, according to his promises, all who have died in the faith of the resurrection may be raised on the last day: Lord, hear us.
Let us commend the world, in which Christ rose from the dead, to the mercy and protection of God. Lord, hear us.
“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen.”
An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Holy Sacrament of the altar. I love you above all things and I passionately desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come spiritually into my soul so that I may unite myself wholly to you now and forever. Amen
Conclusion
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
This simple devotion to use in our homes on Holy Saturday evening reflects those four elements, and begins the celebration of Easter for us.
