Prayer To The Risen Christ

Heavenly Father and God of mercy,

we no longer look

for Jesus among the dead,

for He is alive

and has become the Lord of life.

From the waters of death

you raise us with Him

and renew your gift of life within us.

Increase in our minds and hearts

the risen life

we share with Christ

and help us to grow as your people

toward the fullness of eternal life with you.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
