Wishing you a blessed Easter! Christ has been raised from the dead! Hallelujah! May you all know that hope and joy in your own lives today and every day.

A Prayer for Easter
Risen Lord,
so often encountered
so seldom recognized,
you meet us in the garden of our hearts,
on the lonely roads of our lives,
our empty beaches, and greet us.
But in our blindness
We mistake you for someone else.
Through our tears, we see a gardener;
in our weariness and wariness, a stranger.
But you call us back to ourselves.
Forgive us our hardheartedness,
our lack of understanding.
Open our eyes and our ears to you,
wherever you are found,
and give us grace to love you with abandon,
to throw ourselves into your service,
as Mary threw herself at your feet,
as Peter threw himself into the sea.
Amen.
