Opening
Prayer: By the glorious resurrection
of Your Divine Son, You destroyed death and brought life and immortality to
light: Grant that we, who have been raised with him, may abide in his presence
and rejoice in the hope of eternal glory.
Amen. (Venite by Robert Benson)
Scripture: Matthew 28:1-10
Journal: What stones need to be rolled away in your
life? What will it take?
Reflection:
sometimes
it takes an earthquake
to
roll the stone away
God sends his angel
God sends his angel
to
disrupt or disturb
to shake or quake
to shake or quake
our
lives and our world
just enough so that
just enough so that
the
stone that held us captive
a prisoner trapped in the dark gloom
a prisoner trapped in the dark gloom
of
death and despair
is rolled away
is rolled away
from
the tomb
and we are given
and we are given
the
power
and
freedom and possibility
of leaving the stench
of leaving the stench
and
decay of death behind
and stepping out into the warmth
and stepping out into the warmth
and
light of new life
alive. risen. resurrected.
O God, let us take that step
alive. risen. resurrected.
O God, let us take that step
Prayers
Closing
Prayer: Power
of Love, shining through the risen Jesus, radiantly shine in the dark places of
my pain. Let their power to infect me be
broken and drawn into your heart. (Feed My Shepherds by Flora Slosson
Wuellner)
