Easter Morn Year A
Call to Prayer……… We are here to give you the good news, that God has fulfilled the promise by raising Jesus from the dead.
Prayer……………We praise you, O God, the Father almighty for so wonderfully raising Jesus Christ from the dead. We praise you, O God, the Son for breaking the power of evil and the grave. We praise you, O God, the Holy Spirit for inspiring our hearts with the joy of Christ’s resurrection. To you Father Son & Holy Spirit be glory on this holy Easter Day for you have brought life into being & by the power of the resurrection demonstrated once & for all that your power will overcome the darkness of death itself. Praise be to you O God.
Lord God, the resurrection is so hard to believe, so wonderful is its power & mystery & by the resurrection you show your power can overcome all things yet still we doubt you. Forgive us we pray for the times when we have looked at life & failed to see you in it. Forgive us for the times we have failed to live by the light of the resurrection of our Lord. Forgive us for the times when we have sinned because we failed to see in our neighbour the life of Christ…….
Kyrie…………
May the almighty & most merciful God grant to us pardon & remission of all our sin, time for the amendment of life confirm & strengthen us in all goodness & bring us to the life everlasting.
Lord of life & power thru’ the mighty resurrection of your Son, you have overcome death & opened the gate of everlasting life. Grant that we, being dead to sin & alive to you in Jesus Christ, may reign with him in glory, who with you & the Holy Spirit is alive, one God, now and for ever.
