FULLY ALIVE:
5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.” Matthew 28:5-7
PRAYER:
From death to life.
From old life to new life in Christ.Hear my full cry of repentance – from building my own kingdom, to receiving life on earth as it is in heaven.
I receive your mercy; there is no need for me to bring my own sacrifice.
Guard my heart and mind so I will continue to move and breathe and have my being like the innocence of a child.
Your tenderness touches the deepest longing of my soul, allowing me to embrace your peace and have my joy be complete.
Send me into the harvest with your compassion – to put your love in action.
Give me the sustenance to travail, to suffer with, to suffer for, and to invite others to join me in my own suffering, trusting you as Healer.Conform me, transform me, to live abundantly and eternally. In the Name of the Resurrected Jesus. Amen.
“He is not here; he has risen, just as he said”
