Litanies, Prayers And Dialogues For Lent and Easter
Reader 1: But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they
came to the tomb, taking the spices that they had prepared. They
found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in,
they did not find the body. While they were perplexed about this,
suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them. The women
were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men

Reader 2: "Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is
not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was
still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be handed over to

from the tomb, they told all this to the eleven and to all the
rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of
James, and the other women with them who told this to the
apostles. But these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they
did not believe them.
Reader 2: But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and
looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; then he went
home, amazed at what had happened.
