Easter morning, Easter Joy

“God our father, creator of all, today is the day of Easter Joy.

This is the morning on which the Lord appeared to men who had begun to lose hope..

And open their eyes to what the Scriptures foretold, that at first he must die, and then he would rise and ascend in to his fathers glorious presence.

May our 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 theough Christ our Lord, amen”

This Easter Sunday prayer was taken from the Liturgy is the Hours, Lenten, Easter volume page 526.

🌿

Happy Easter everyone! May our Risen Lord bless us with renewed strength and grace as we give joy and praise to Him this blessed Easter morning.

 

A Lenten reflection

Courage – be courageous in sharing the love and healing of Jesus

Compassion – He forgave us of our sins, I should forgive others and be compassionate towards others.

Condemn not – He did not condemn me, I shouldn’t judge or condemn others.

Communion – Find strength in Holy Communion, come to Him when you are weak.

Thank you Lord for being with me today and always. Help me to refocus my life on you and your love, being constantly mindful of your will, your healing and your joy in my life.

Help me to be courageous is bringing my family and others to you.
