Lord and Father of all,
Help us rise each day to Easter
Teach us to practice resurrection
To seek love and forgiveness and new life
In our relationships
In our work
In our play
In our busy, distracted, lonely world
Lord and good Father to us all
Remind us as the earth re-blooms
That new life is available to us every day
Our portion is abundant
If we will but empty our hands
Of the things that would distract us from you
And open wide to receive your resurrection blessings
So that we may be your blessing to others

Amen

PRAYER TO END OUR LENTEN JOURNEY
 
RISEN LORD,
As we end our Lenten journey,
may we continue to have the courage to walk
with our brothers and sisters around the world
who are hungry, who need our comfort and compassion
or who must flee their homes due to war or lack of opportunity.
 
We pray that our Lenten sacrifices
may be an offering of solidarity and
a promise of ongoing encounter
with our one human family.
 
As good stewards of Your many gifts to us,
may we seek to love our neighbors as You love us.
And wherever we feed the hungry,
give drink to the thirsty,
or welcome the stranger,
may we remember that we are encountering You.
We ask this through Christ our Lord,
Who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit,
One God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
