Entering the Joy: Easter Entrance Antiphons.
He is Not Here: He Is Risen. |
Entering
the Joy – Friday, Week 5 of Eastertide
Entrance
Antiphon:
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and divinity, and wisdom
and strength and honour, alleluia.”
(cf. Revelation 5:12)
The
Slain Lamb is Now Worthy of All
Today’s
antiphon places us in the heart of the heavenly liturgy.
We are not just remembering what Jesus did —
we are joining the worship of heaven, where the risen Christ is adored.
But
notice how He is described:
“Worthy
is the Lamb who was slain…”
Not
“the victorious warrior,” not “the conquering king” — but the Lamb, and
not just the Lamb — the slain Lamb.
His
worthiness comes through sacrifice.
His glory comes through the cross.
And now, He receives everything:
Power. Divinity. Wisdom. Strength. Honour.
This
is what Easter proclaims:
The one who gave everything now holds everything.
Spirituality
in Action
How
can I carry this antiphon into my day?
- Whisper:
“Worthy is the Lamb.” Let it re-centre you when you feel scattered.
- Honour
Christ today by giving your best — your attention, your kindness, your
strength.
- Reflect:
where in your life do you need to surrender control and let the Lamb
reign?
Worthy
are You, Jesus,
Slain for us, risen in glory.
You hold power, wisdom, and strength —
and yet You still carry wounds of love.
Let me honour You today
in how I live, speak, and love.
Alleluia. Amen.
Slain for us, risen in glory.
You hold power, wisdom, and strength —
and yet You still carry wounds of love.
Let me honour You today
in how I live, speak, and love.
Alleluia. Amen.
