We give you thanks, O Lord,
because your faithful love lasts forever.
On this day of days, we declare what you have done for us:
Christ has died, yet Christ lives again!
As the whole creation rejoices in the resurrection,
we lift our prayers for those who still seek your faithfulness:
For those who are suffering under the shadow of illness or death…
For all who find themselves alone and excluded…
For the gifts of creation, the promise of seeds to be sown, and the healing of the earth…
For all who work for justice and wholeness in the light of the resurrection…
We thank you for answering our prayers and saving us.
In Christ, you have lifted up what was thrown out
and raised the rejected to share your glory.
This day that you have made
is marvelous celebration in our eyes!
We praise you in the name of the risen Christ! Amen.
