Meditation:
    Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."
    -- John 20:17 (ESV)

Quotation:
    I greet Thy sepulcher, salute Thy grave,
    That blest enclosure, where the angels gave
    The first glad tidings of Thy early light,
    And resurrection from the earth and night.
    I see that morning in Thy convert’s tears,
    Fresh as the dew, which but this downing wears.
    I smell her spices; and her ointment yields
    As rich a scent as the now primrosed fields:
    The Day-star smiles, and light, with Thee deceased,
    Now shines in all the chambers of the East.
        ... Henry Vaughan (1622-1695)

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, You are the Light of the world.
