“PASCHAL CANDLE” 🕯 Paschal Candle or Easter Candle is a new candle which is blessed and lit every year in the Church at Easter Vigil. The candle represents Christ, the light of the World and is used during the Paschal/Easter Season and also on special occasions such as Baptism and Funerals. • At the beginning of Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night, the priest or deacon carries the unlit Paschal Candle in a solemn procession. A new fire, symbolizing our eternal life in Christ, is kindled and blessed by the Priest. • The candle, representing Christ Himself, is blessed by the priest who then inscribes on it a cross with knife, then the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, the Alpha and the Omega (‘The Beginning and The End’) and the numbers of the current year, while he chants the prayer below: Christ yesterday and today The Beginning and The End Alpha and Omega His are the times and ages To Him be glory and dominion Through all ages of eternity. Amen. • Then the priest affixes five blessed grains of incense in the cross on the Paschal candle saying: By His Holy and Glorious wounds May He guard and preserve us Christ the Lord. Amen. • The deacon lights a small candle from the new fire and presents it to the priest, who solemn lights the Paschal Candle saying: May the Light of Christ In glory rising again, Dispel the darkness of Heart and mind. • The Easter Candle is lighted each day for daily Mass during the Easter Octave and also on all Sunday Masses and all Solemnities during the fifty days of Easter. • The pure beeswax of which the candle is made represents the sinless Christ who was formed in the womb of His Mother. The wick signifies His humanity, the flame, His Divine Nature, both soul and body. Five grains of incense inserted into the candle in the form of a cross recall the aromatic spices with which His Sacred Body was prepared for the tomb, and of the five wounds in His hands, feet and side. • • • #PaschalCandle #EasterCandle #Paschal #Easter #Candle #TheLightOfChrist #ChristHimself #TheHolyCross #TheBeginning #TheEnd #Alpha #Omega #TheTimesAndAges #HisBeGloryAndDominion #HisHolyAndGloriousWounds #FiveWounds #Catholic #CatholicChurch (at Bali) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNP-58_jw5P/?igshid=1mfbywp7hi5pa

My wife has been brilliant this Holy Week & Triduum. Today everybody gets to do a craft. This was the largest candle we had in the house. It required a precision that is beyond me but unprecedented times call for a man to rise to the challenge 😅 Have a Blessed Holy Saturday! #diy #paschalcandle

Saturday of Holy Week

COLLECT PRAYER

O God, who make this most sacred night radiant with the glory of the Lord's Resurrection, stir up in your Church a spirit of adoption, so that, renewed in body and mind, we amy render you undivided service. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Romans 13:6-7

6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison

Cor Jesu Eucharistic Miserere Nobis

omnem novitatem attulit, semestipsum afferens

Then they looked up and saw that the stone had already been rolled back. So they entered the tomb, where they saw a young man sitting on the right, wearing a white robe and they were alarmed. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus of Nazaret, who was crucified. He is not here. He has been raised! Look, here is the place where they put Him. Now go and give this message to His disciples, including Peter: ‘He is going to Galilee ahead of you; there you will see Him, just as He told you.’” So they went out and ran from the tomb, distressed and terrified. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.
