Daily Easter Prayer

"Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth shall declare your praise."

Opening Prayer:
Father,
by this Easter mystery
you touch our lives
with the healing power of your love.
You have given us the freedom
of the children of God.
May we who now celebrate your gift
find joy in it for ever in heaven.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever.

The Readings  Acts 2:36-41; Psalm 33; John 20:11-18
 

Daily Meditation:
You give us the freedom of the children of God.

The opportunity to recognize the healing power of love
that has been offered us really does fill these days with power.
It is about recognizing Jesus alive, and Jesus with me now.
It is about freedom from fear, freedom for courageous love and service.

Mary turned around and saw Jesus standing there.
But she did not know who he was.
Jesus asked her,
"Why are you crying? Who are you looking for?"
John 20:14-15
