By your Resurrection  Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

By your resurrection, O Lord, you become the first-born of the dead. Help us live the newness of your life.

By your resurrection, you seal the new covenant.  Place in our hearts your own Spirit.

By your resurrection, you killed hate among people.  Help us live the new law of your love.

By your resurrection, you clothed yourself with immortality.  Help us put on the new man created in justice and holiness of truth.

By your resurrection, you sit at the right hand of your Father.  Help us discover in the earthly realities the path to your heavenly kingdom.

By your resurrection, you restore the universe.  Rebuild also your Church in your joy, because the life of your risen people is the witness of your resurrection.

(Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)
