My favourite Mass of the year.

"Henceforth let your souls alway
Make each morn an Easter Day."
- Gerald Manley Hopkins

A Prayer for Easter (thank you, Pastor Cummings)

Help us to remember

That you are with us in every time of perplexity to guide and to direct;
That you are with us in every time of sorrow to comfort and console;
That you are with us in every time of temptation to strengthen and to inspire;
That you are with us in every time of loneliness to cheer and befriend;
That you are with us even in death to bring us to the glory of your side.

Make us to be certain that there is nothing in time or in eternity which can separate us from you, so that in your presence we may meet life with gallantry and death without fear.

You turn our darkness into light, in your light we shall see light.

Amen.

"For without ashes there can be no glory."

Happy Easter!
