Easter

An Easter prayer

God of Life,

You broke the bonds of death by raising Jesus from the dead,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Bring us all through the darkness of fear and doubt,

into the marvellous light of your freedom and truth.

We ask this in the name of Jesus, your Son,

and in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Through his suffering and death, Christ gives us lasting freedom.

May God bless us with the inner freedom,

to live ever more truly the Good News of the Gospel. Amen.

Through his resurrection, Christ bathes and refreshes us in the river of glory.

May God bless us with joy as we know our rebirth into the ways of the Gospel. Amen

Through the breath of his Spirit, Christ enlivens our hearts today.

May God bless us with courage to speak and spread the Good News. Amen.
