SOME TEXTS AND INTENTIONS WHICH MAY HELP TOWARDS THE DEVOUT
RECITATION OF LAUDS.

1. "And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they come
to the sepulchre, the sun being now risen."

They said to one another, "Who shall roll us back the stone from the
door of the sepulchre?" (St. Mark, xv.).

2. "And looking, they saw the stone rolled back.... And entering the
sepulchre they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed with a
white robe; and they were astonished. Who sayeth to them, Be not
affrighted; you seek Jesus of Nazareth Who was crucified. He is risen,
He is not here" (St. Mark, xv.).

3. "Behold Jesus sayeth to her (Magdalen) 'Woman, why weepest thou?'"

4. "Behold Jesus met them (the women) saying to them 'All hail.'"

(5) "See my hands and feet, that it is I myself, handle and see" (St.
Luke, xxiv.).

6. "Bring hither thy hand and put it into My side and be not faithless."
