A Prayer for Easter from Catholic Relief Services (CRS)

Lord and Father of all,
help us rise each day to Easter.
Teach us to practice resurrection,
to seek love and forgiveness and new life
in our relationships,
in our work,
in our play,
in our busy, distracted, lonely world.

Lord and good Father to us all,
remind us as the earth re-blooms
that new life is available to us every day.
Our portion is abundant,
if we will but empty our hands
of the things that would distract us from you,
and open wide to receive your resurrection blessings
so that we may be your blessing to others.

Amen.
