The Prayer of the Day
O God, you gave your only Son to suffer death on the cross for our redemption, and by his glorious
resurrection you delivered us from the power of death. Make us die every day to sin, that we may live
with him forever in the joy of the resurrection, through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.
Worship Insight
Christ is risen! Jesus is alive and God has swallowed up death forever. With Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome, we may feel astonished and confused, unsure of what to make of the empty tomb. But this is why we gather: to proclaim, witness, praise and affirm the liberating reality of Christ’s death and resurrection. In word and feast, we celebrate God’s unending love, and depart to share this good news with all the world. Alleluia!
