Easter Prayer

When everything was dark

and it seemed that the sun would never shine again, your love broke through.

Your love was too strong, too wide,

too deep

for death to hold.

The sparks cast by your love dance and spread

and burst forth

with resurrection light.

Gracious God,

We praise you for the light of new life

made possible through Jesus.

We praise you for the light of new life

that shone on the first witnesses of resurrection. We praise you for the light of new life

that continues to shine in our hearts today.

We pray that the Easter light of life, hope and joy, will live in us each day;

and that we will be bearers of that light

into the lives of others.

Amen.
