The sun shines on the sea off the Liberian coast.
Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.
We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you,
because by your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world.
Jesus is alive. He has conquered death and is here among us.
His resurrection opens the way of hope and assures us that injustice, pain and death can be overcome.
As we reflect on Jesus’ final journey, we pray for the strength to live each day as people transformed through God’s love. May we radiate God’s love to all our sisters and brothers throughout the world.
Prayer
Risen Jesus,
you make all things new,
Renew us with your risen life,
to carry your loving presence
into our broken world.
Amen.
