Today's Prayer
Easter Day
On the third day after being crucified, Jesus’ tomb was found to be empty by the disciples. Jesus had risen from the dead and so life has triumphed over death. The joy of the resurrection is possible because Jesus endured and conquered death.
Today marks the start of fifty days celebrating Jesus’ resurrection before the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
As we celebrate the triumph of life over death, we remember all those who mourn the loss of a loved one. As we celebrate the joy of new life and the hope revealed in it, we pray for those who find hope hard to hold on to. We pray too for our own journeys of discipleship, remembering that to follow Christ means dying to sin and rising to new life in him.
Heavenly Father, you have delivered us from the power of darkness
and brought us into the kingdom of your Son: grant that, as his death has recalled us to life, so his continual presence in us may raise us to eternal joy; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
