Eastertide prayer
Dear Beloved,
In the note that I wrote you before Holy week, I offered a prayer. Now in the liturgical (related to public worship) calendar/season of Eastertide, I offer you this prayer. May you know you are not alone. You are loved. You are prayed for.
Glorious and gracious God, we continue to sing our joyous Alleluias to you! You are awesome and amazing beyond our fullest imagination. We praise and adore you! We thank you for the gifts of new life. We thank you for the hope of the Risen One. We thank you for the resurrection power you offer us as we seek to be witnesses of your unstoppable love – a love that welcomes all, a love that connects us to one another that we may all be part of growing your beloved community for all – your shalom – your deep and wide comprehensive peace and wholeness for all. May each of your children know they are loved and precious to you. May we find strength and renewal in your signs of new life beautifully bursting out in your creation. Please lead us out in the ways of unconditional kindness, grace, bold love, and courageous compassion embodied by Jesus our Leader. Amen.
