EASTER SUNDAY. ALTHOUGH times and seasons in general subsist not but by the order, and for the glory of God, yet the Church, when she speaks of the festival of the Resurrection, calls it in every part of the Divine Office, (by way of pre-eminence) the day the Lord hath made. All the days of the mortal life of Jesus, previous to that of his Resurrection, were, according to St. Paul, the days of his humiliation, whereas this is properly called the day of his glory; since it was by his resurrection that the broad seal of heaven was allixed to his doctrine,-his other miracles confirmed-his mission proved,--and all his labours crowned. Hence arises the Church's joy on this, the grealest of her festivals.
