God the Father,
Help us rise each day to Easter.

Teach us to practice resurrection,
to seek love and forgiveness and new life

in our relationships,
in our work,
in our play,
in our busy, distracted,
lonely world.

Lord and good Father to us all,
Remind us as the earth blooms again
that new life is available to us every day.

Our portion is abundant
if we will but empty our hands
of the things that would distract us from you
and open them wide to receive your resurrection
blessings so that we may be your blessing to others.

Amen


"In prayer, God keeps calling us, opening our hearts to charity."

— Pope Francis
