EASTER PRAYER

PRAYER TO THE RESTORER OF ENTOMBED VITALITY

Awakened One, Source of Inner Power,
Restorer of Tombed Vitality, Giver of Graced Gusto.

You, who have raised from the cold stone of death,
come and resurrect me from my own entombment.

Repair what has weakened in my spiritual endeavors,
revive my mildewed , cobwebbed relationships;

Lift up my waning hope when I wail with the world's pain,
restore my sense of oneness with all of your creation;

Refresh my daily call to embrace the sacred
to find you in every gesture that dances with your heart;

Push  back the stone of self-centeredness
untomb my genrousity, renew my dedication;

Raise up my dilapidated dreams, restore my ancient union,
resuscitate my burning desire, 
re-establish my priorities

So you become the Center 
of all I am and all I do.

-Joyce Rupp-



Easter  Blessings on us all!


The Resurrection is not a single event, 
but a loosening of God's power and light into the earth and into history
that continues to alter things,
infusing them with grace and power of God's own holiness.

It is as if a door was opened,
and what poured out will never be stopped
and the door cannot be closed.
