Entering the Joy: Easter Entrance Antiphon Series: Monday Fourth Week of Eastertide Year C

Entering the Joy: Easter Entrance Antiphon Series

He Is Not Here: He Is Risen.

Monday, Week 4 of Eastertide
Entrance Antiphon:

“Christ, having risen from the dead, dies now no more; death will no longer have dominion over him, alleluia.”(Romans 6:9)

 He Dies No More

We begin this week not with advice or instruction, but with a fact

“Christ, having risen from the dead, dies now no more.”

It’s a quiet but unshakable line of hope.  The victory of Jesus wasn’t momentary.
Death no longer has any dominion over Him.  
This is the deep Easter joy:  It’s not just that Christ rose — but that He stays risen.  His life is now uninterruptible, eternal, offered to us.   In Him, we are promised the same:Resurrection that holds, healing that endures, mercy that cannot be buried again.

 Spirituality in Action

How can I carry this antiphon into my day?

  • Say aloud: “Christ dies no more.” Let it settle into our thinking.
  • In moments of fear, remember: Death no longer holds the final word.
  • Do something today that aligns with life — a kind word, a choice for hope, a refusal to let despair reign.
  • Rejoice that we too will experience Resurrection because of all that Christ has won for us.

 Short Prayer

Risen Lord,
You died once for all, and now You live forever.
Let that truth steady me today.
When I am tempted by fear, help me remember:
You reign, and You die no more.
Amen.
