Here’s a litany for the season
after Easter, from Roddy Hamilton’s Mucky
Paws website.
Every day is Easter
When Thomas touched the wounds
and set himself free
it was Easter day
and set himself free
it was Easter day
When Peter’s three “yes’s” to
Jesus
finished his three denials
it was Easter day
finished his three denials
it was Easter day
When Mary ready to embalm the
dead
ran in fear from the empty tomb
it was Easter day
ran in fear from the empty tomb
it was Easter day
When the disciples looked from
afar
at a breakfast of fish on the beach
it was Easter day
at a breakfast of fish on the beach
it was Easter day
When Emmaus became synonymous
with welcome
and the breaking of bread with strangers
it was Easter day
and the breaking of bread with strangers
it was Easter day
When Paul was blinded by the
light
and recognised the voice niggling in his head
it was Easter day
and recognised the voice niggling in his head
it was Easter day
When the hungry are fed at the
table
the same table as the rich
it is Easter day
the same table as the rich
it is Easter day
When weapons are beaten to
ploughshares
and peace is a word to be shouted
it is Easter day
and peace is a word to be shouted
it is Easter day
When the stranger is welcomed in
community
and the lonely are restored to relationship
it is Easter day...
and the lonely are restored to relationship
it is Easter day...
