This wonderful day, O Christ, is yours.
Help us to experience Easter in our hearts.
Turn our own empty tombs
into signs of new life, signs of hope.
Give us grace to share our hope
with those we love
and especially with those
who need new life and courage and hope
in their own lives.
Alleluia! Amen.
