Here’s
a prayer of affirmation and commitment for Easter Sunday.
Easter Prayer
Christ,
you are risen with the sun;
you
are light in darkness, warmth in our cold.
You
are peace and hope and joy,
for
you went willingly to death.
You
turned defeat and failure to victory for all.
You
live eternally
and
with you all the living and the dead
who
trust in you.
May
we who in baptism die to sin,
rise
again to new life
and
find our true place in your living body.
May
the covenant sealed in your blood
through
us bring healing and reconciliation
to
this wounded world.
Alleluia!
You
are risen.
We
are risen with you.
Praise
and glory to the living God!
