Entering the Joy: Easter Entrance Antiphon Series.

He Is Not Here: He Is Risen

Tuesday of Third Week of Eastertide.

 Entrance Antiphon:

“Let all who fear God, both small and great, praise our God, for the salvation and power and authority of his Christ have come, alleluia.”  (cf. Revelation 19:5; 12:10)

A Universal Call to Praise

This antiphon is a resounding invitation to all—regardless of status or stature—to join in praising God. The phrase “both small and great” emphasizes the inclusivity of this call, reminding us that in the eyes of God, every voice matters.

The reason for this collective praise is profound: “the salvation and power and authority of his Christ have come.” This is not a distant promise but a present reality. Christ's resurrection has ushered in a new era where salvation is accessible, divine power is at work, and Christ's authority reigns.

Spirituality in Action

How can I carry this antiphon into my day?

• Acknowledge the universality of God's call: Reflect on the diverse ways people around you express their faith and join in praising God, recognizing the beauty in this diversity.

• Embrace the present reality of salvation: Consider areas in your life where you can more fully accept and live out the salvation and authority of Christ.

• Engage in communal praise: Whether through song, prayer, or acts of kindness, find ways to participate in the collective glorification of God today.

Short Prayer
Lord God,

You call all people, regardless of status or background, to praise You.  Thank You for the salvation, power, and authority revealed in Christ.  Help me to live in the joy of this reality and to join others in glorifying Your name.  Amen.
