Enter The Joy: Easter Antiphon Series; Tuesday 5th Week Eastertide

Entering the Joy: Easter Antiphon Series.

He is Not Here. He Is Risen.

Entering the Joy – Tuesday, Week 5 of Eastertide

Entrance Antiphon:
“Let us rejoice and be glad and give glory to God, for the Lord our God the Almighty reigns, alleluia.”
(cf. Revelation 19:7, 6)

 

Rejoicing in the Reign of God

Today’s Entrance Antiphon is an invitation to joy that’s not based on feelings, but on truth:

“The Lord our God the Almighty reigns.”  It’s a statement of fact — not a mood. When everything feels unsettled, the antiphon reminds us:God still reigns.

When plans unravel or burdens feel heavy: God still reigns. God reigns with mercy. With wisdom. With resurrection power. And so we’re called to do three things:

Rejoice. Be glad. Give glory.Rejoicing doesn’t mean pretending things are perfect — it means living in trust, because the throne is not empty.

 

Spirituality in Action

How can I carry this antiphon into my day?

• Say quietly (or aloud): “The Lord our God the Almighty reigns.” Let it settle your spirit.

• Offer a small act of praise today — a song, a whispered “thank you,” a moment of stillness in the sun.

• In a situation where you feel powerless, pause and say: “God is reigning, even here.”

 

Short Prayer

Almighty God,
You reign over all — even the places I cannot control.
Teach me to rejoice in Your kingship,
to be glad in Your presence,
and to give glory in the way I live today.

Alleluia. Amen.
