Abstract
The Exultet of the Church on Holy Saturday night provides the reasons to be a
hopeful people as members of the Body of Christ, baptized into a commitment to God
and to each other. As the Exultet is sung the Church remembers the wounds of Christ as
the candle is adorned. Baptism is often performed during the Holy Saturday night service
and we joyfully celebrate our community as the light of Hope draws us to unite ourselves
to Christ. The Exultet also provides the backdrop for reasons to choose to be organ
donors as good stewards, baptized in the Church in communion with all who have gone
before us and all with whom we now stand.
