Easter Prayer
“Christ
is risen!”
“He is risen indeed!”
“He is risen indeed!”
We
repeat our Easter shouts of
surprise and joy
again and again,
for news of your victory
over powers of death and evil
is news so startling
so amazing
so different from the news that bombards us day by day.
surprise and joy
again and again,
for news of your victory
over powers of death and evil

so different from the news that bombards us day by day.
Beyond
our comprehension
You startle us again and again
with resurrection Life,
bringing grace and hope and joy.
You startle us again and again

You,
in your risen power,
are shaping all our days,
and so we praise you,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen
