Catholic Easter Prayer
Lord, the resurrection of Your Son
has given us new life and renewed hope. Help us to live as new people in pursuit of the Christian ideal. Grant us wisdom to know what we must do, the will to want to do it, the courage to undertake it, the perseverance to continue to do it, and the strength to complete it. source:New Saint Joseph People's Prayer Book |

Our pastor's sermon (see Rev. Mark Feldmeir at www.st-andrew-umc.com) focused on a magical element of the Easter story; that God was working the miracle of his resurrection WHILE darkness still lay on the world. What magic might God be working in each of our lives WHILE we busily set ourselves to mundane tasks in our daily lives, weep our losses and fear our fears? A current darkness only cloaks the Resurrection for a short time; our belief in the Resurrection signifies faith in God's hidden work, that light and love will yet triumph, in our lives and in all the world.
Happy Easter to all!
