You cleared away the darkness of sin by Your magnificent and radiant Resurrection

Good Tuesday morning, my friends.

We have just celebrated Easter Sunday.  Resurrection Sunday.  The commemoration of the most significant event in human history since creation.  What an incredible act of love, mercy and grace.  We are so familiar with the "story" that we can become desensitized to the depth of meaning it contains.  We need to revel in the love that God has poured out for us, and it should overflow into the people around us.  Ask God who it is that is around you TODAY that needs to feel that love.

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

Bruce

It is only right, with all the powers of our heart and mind, to praise You Father and Your Only-Begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Dear Father, by Your wondrous condescension of loving-kindness toward us, Your servants, You gave up Your Son. 

Dear Jesus You paid the debt of Adam for us to the Eternal Father by Your Blood poured forth in loving-kindness. 

You cleared away the darkness of sin by Your magnificent and radiant Resurrection. 

You broke the bonds of death and rose from the grave as a Conqueror. 

You reconciled heaven and earth. 

Our life had no hope of eternal happiness before You redeemed us. 

Your Resurrection has washed away our sins, restored our innocence and brought us joy.

How inestimable is the tenderness of Your Love!

Easter Prayer of St. Gregory the Great
