Prayer for the Day:
Revealing God, open my eyes that I, like Mary, may see the risen Jesus. Receive my joy at your victory over death. Guide me in giving witness to the risen Savior. Lead me in the light of this miraculous day. Thank you for your persistent companionship through the days of Lent to this Easter day. Alleluia. Alleluia. Jesus Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!
Question for reflection:
What is your testimony on this day of bearing witness? Where have you seen Jesus? What are the words you will use to describe your joy? How will your actions be impacted by what you have seen and know?
