Prayer to the Risen Christ

A Prayer for the Easter Season or Eastertide (50 days of Easter)

Heavenly Father and God of mercy,
we no longer look for Jesus among the dead,
for He is alive and has become the Lord of Life.
From the waters of death
you raise us with Him and renew your gift of life within us.
Increase in our minds and hearts the risen life we share with Christ
and help us to grow as your people
toward the fullness of eternal life with you.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
