EASTER PRAYER
God our Father, creator of all,
today is the day of Easter joy.
This is the day on which the Lord appeared
to all who had begun to lose hope and opened their eyes to what the scriptures
foretold:
that first he must die, and then he would rise
and ascend into his Father’s glorious presence.
May the risen Lord breathe on our minds
and open our eyes that we may know
him in the breaking of bread,
and follow him in his risen life.
Grant this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
