APRIL 1
Easter Day
ISAIAH 25:6-9 PSALM 118:1-2, 14-24
MARK 16:1-8 ACTS 10:34-43
Beloved Lord, Surely this Easter news is too
good to be true. We know how to weep and
rage at death but your empty tomb startles,
confuses and frightens us. Help us to stand in
our startlement until we hear and believe your
saints and angels as they utter your command
to fear not. Then help us, we pray, to lay aside
our grave clothes and follow you so that, with
both our lips and with our lives, we proclaim
resurrection. All which we ask in the name of
the crucified and risen Lord Jesus. Amen.
