The
ceremony of light that is celebrated on this night’s liturgy shows how the
whole world was in darkness until Christ came as light to illumine our path. He
has turned our darkness of sin and despair into the light of hope of salvation
and glory. The exultet that is sung
during this liturgy tells us about the significance of this night ‘ the power
of this holy night dispels all evil, washes guilt away, restores lost
innocence, brings mourners joy, it cast out hatred brings us peace and humbles earthly
pride. This is the Passover that we celebrate this night, our new life and our
joy.
Lord
as we celebrate this feast of light, inflame
our hearts again with the Love of what you command, that we may be
worthy to inherit what you have wrought for us through the blood that your son
has shed for us on the tree. Amen.
