ALMIGHTY FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR THE GIFT OF YOUR SON, JESUS CHRIST, WHO ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND REDEEMED HUMANKIND. FILL US WITH THE FIRE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, THAT WE MAY BE FAITHFUL DISCIPLES AND ENTHUSIASTIC WITNESSES OF OUR CATHOLIC FAITH. ALLELUIA, CHRIST IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN, INDEED. AMEN.
LET US PRAY FOR EACH OTHER AND FOR ALL THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN OUR MINISTRIES. JESUS, YOU ARE COURAGE INCARNATE. AS YOU HUNG ON THE CROSS FOR MY SINS AND THE SINS OF THE WORLD, YOU SHOWED ME THAT ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. YOU KNEW THAT LIFE DID NOT END ON THE CROSS. IT WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF A NEW AND GLORIOUS ETERNAL LIFE. AMEN.
JESUS, NO ONE KNOWS CHANGE BETTER THAN YOU. YOU DIED ON THE CROSS, AND THREE DAYS LATER YOU ROSE FROM THE DEAD. FORTY DAYS LATER YOU ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN AND LEFT THE WORLD TRANSFORMED FOR THE REST OF TIME. HELP ME TO TRANSFORM MY SOUL, TO DIE TO SIN AND DEATH AND BE REBORN IN YOUR LOVE AND ETERNAL LIFE. AMEN.
