I found these prayers in a file in my desk. They express our Easter joy. Pray them with your family when you gather for meals, inviting everyone to join voices to proclaim praise to the Son of God together.
Shout to the Son!
As morning light dawns, we shout our praise to the risen Son.
As the sky begins to glow with orange and yellow hues, we shout our praise to the risen Son.
As darkness is overcome by the break of day, we shout our praise to the risen Son.
As beams of light shine into the empty tomb, we shout our praise to the risen Son.
As ever-increasing glory streams across the landscape of our lives, we shout our praise to the risen Son.
As the world is illuminated and our spirits are restored, we shout our praise to the risen Son, who has given us both light and life forevermore.
Pray to the Son!
- A Mealtime Blessing -
At sunrise, you rose, O Son of God. For this we are eternally grateful. Let us live joyfully this day in the splendor of this good news of salvation. Let our gladness in you arise within us as we share this meal together. And let us look with excitement at what still lies on the horizon for us all - life in heaven with you. Amen.
