Proclaiming the Resurrection

Jesus Christ, risen Lord, have mercy on us!

Help us, O risen Lord,

to proclaim your Resurrection

by bringing good news to the poor,

and healing the hearts that are broken.

Help us, O risen Lord,

to proclaim your Resurrection,

by feeding those who are hungry

and clothing those who are naked.

Help us, O risen Lord,

to proclaim your Resurrection,

by releasing the captives of injustice,

and all those who are imprisoned by their sins.

Help us, O risen Lord,

to proclaim your Resurrection,

by welcoming the strangers

and visiting those in loneliness.

Help us, O risen Lord,

to proclaim your Resurrection,

by bringing your peace to those who are in trouble,

and your joy to those who are in sorrow.

God our Father, who raised your Son from the dead,

help us to understand, we beg you,

that we will conquer our own death

and rise with Jesus today when we live in brotherly love.

We ask you this grace through Jesus Christ,

who died for our sins and rose for our life.

(Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)
