Our Resurrection and our Life,
We thank you that You are a very present help in trouble. You are less than a breath away, quicker than our nearest thought. While we are yet speaking, You hear and answer. You calm our most turbulent storms but bow the most beautiful sky. Your gentle words raise the dead to life and commands demons to flee. Your life was spotless but You bore the sins of many. You traded Your life for ours that we might have the life which was Yours. Praise the Desire of All the Ages for His great love and sacrifice; a love so unknown, even those who will not choose You we're in Your heart. May we choose You always is our deepest prayer, in Jesus' sacrificial name, Amen.
