“But from this earth, this grave, this dust, my God shall raise me up, I trust.” –Sir Walter Raleigh

Prayer

Living God,

As the Church continues its celebration of Easter, we give thanks for the way your son’s resurrection confirms in us a living hope for a glorified body of our own. We are emboldened here and now, with strength and vitality for the calling you’ve given, convinced that death shall not have the last word. What a great and wondrous gift! To share in this abundant life that you have won for us! May that life fill each one of us to the point of overflowing today. For the sake of others in need, we pray. Amen.
