And they told about the things that had happened on the road,

and how Jesus was known to

them by the breaking of the

bread.

Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the

midst of them, and said to

them: “Peace to you!”

But they were terrified and

frightened, and thought they

had seen a spirit.

And He said to them: “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts? Behold My Hands and My Feet, that it is I, Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.”

When He had said this, He showed

them His Hands and His Feet.

Yet since they still did not believe for Joy, and they marvelled, He

said to them:“Have you any food here?”

So they gave Him a piece of broiled fish and some

honeycomb. And He took it

and ate in their presence.

Then He said to them:, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.”

And He opened their

understanding, so that they

might comprehend the

Scriptures.

Then He said to them: “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise

from the dead the third day,

and that Repentance and Remission of

sins should be preached in His Name to all Nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And you are Witnesses of these Things. Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but remain in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with Power from on High.”

And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His

Hands and Blessed them.

Now it came to pass, while He Blessed them, that He was

parted from them and carried

up into Heaven.

And they worshipped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with

great Joy, and were continually

in the Temple Praising and

Blessing God.

Amen. RESURRECT ION PRAYER ; PSALM 50 / 5 1 ; TR IOD ION HYMNS &

Thou hast rescued the world

I rebelled senselessly against Thy Fatherly Glory; I have sinfully

squandered all the wealth Thy

using the Prodigal’s words, I

Thee, O Merciful Loving Father!

O, receive me in Repentance, I

pray, and TREAT ME AS ONE OF THY HIRED HANDS.

Since our Saviour teaches us each day by His familiar Voice, let

us listen to the Scriptures

concerning the Son who

became Prodigal and then

returned to his senses, and in

Faith let us emulate his Good

Repentance. With a humble

heart, let us cry out to God

Who observes all that is

hidden: “We have sinned

against Thee, O Tender-Loving

Father, and we are no longer

worthy to be called Thy

Children as before! But

inasmuch as Thou Love

humanity, receive me, I pray, AND TREAT ME AS ONE OF THY HIRED HANDS!
