Let us all enter into the joy of the Lord!

Thomas and the Risen Lord, 1150 CE

Message to young people
First and last alike, receive your reward. For the Lord is gracious and receives the last no less than the first

Are there any who are devout loyers of God? 

Let them enjoy this beautiful bright festival!
Are there any who are grateful servants?
Let them rejoice and enter finto the joy of their Lord!
Are there any weary from fasting?
Let them now receive their due!

If any have toiled from the first hour,
let them receive their reward.
If any have come after the third hour,
let them with gratitude join in the feast!
And those who arrived after the sixth hour,
let them not doubt; for they shall lose nothing.
And if any have tarried until the ninth hour,
let them not hesitate; but let them come too.
And those who arrived only at the eleventh hour,
let them not be afraid by reason of their delay.

For the Lord is gracious
and receives the last no less than the first.
The Lord gives rest to those who come at the eleventh hour,
even as to those who toiled from the beginning.
To one and all the Lord gives generously.
The Lord accepts the offering of every work.
The Lord honors every deed and commends their intention.

Let us all enter into the joy of the Lord!
First and last alike, receive your reward.
Rich and poor, rejoice together!
Sober and slothful, celebrate the day!
You that have kept the fast, and you that have not, rejoice, this day!
