Easter Sunday

Reflection

“Yes, Christ my hope is arisen.” –from the Easter sequence, Victimae paschali laudes

Prayer

Life Abundant,

Today is the day! Our hearts are filled with joy and we gladly say, hallelujah! A love stronger than death is alive and well! Your triumph over death on Easter Sunday means our hope is not in vain but has arisen. We who strive to extend your healing ministry today are especially comforted, as we share the fundamental conviction that sickness and death do not have the last word. Fill each one of us with more of your life-giving hope today, especially for the sake of our patients and families and all those who are hurting, suffering, and in need. Send us as agents of life-giving hope, that we might comfort them and care for them in ways that bring peace. Amen.

Call to Action

Be willing to share my source of hope with all those who are suffering, hurting, or in need of companionship today.
