EASTER
PRAYER
Heavenly
Father and God of mercy,
I believe that Jesus is alive and has
become the Lord of life.
From
the waters of Baptism you have
raised me with him and renewed your
gift of life within me.
Increase
in my mind and heart
the risen life I share with Christ
and help me to grow in your
wisdom and grace.
Lord
Jesus, you appeared to your
apostles after the resurrection and filled
their hearts with joy when you said to them
"Peace be with you".
May
the peace of your presence
abide with me and make each day you
give me the most beautiful day of my life.
Lord
Jesus, you triumphed over death and
destroyed the power of death in me,
may I live only for you.
Risen
Lord, you brought confusion
on the guards at your tomb but joy
to your disciples, grant me the fullness
of joy as I serve you in spirit and truth.
You
promised to be with your disciples,
Lord, to the end of the world, stay with
me today and remain with me always.
King
of glory, center of my life,
grant that when you come again, I may
be one with you in glory.
Lord,
remember me as in my own way I
minister to your people, may my life
be holy and an example to your people.
Lord
Jesus, purify my heart with your truth
and guide me in the way of holiness,
so that I may always do what is
pleasing in your sight.
Amen.
