Lord Jesus Christ,
we come to Your tomb
bearing our cares, our sorrows, our daily pain,
but You are not there,
for You have Risen, just as You said,
and ransomed us from the slavery of sin.
GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO!
We ask for Your healing Love,
the all-encompassing Love that conquered even death,
so that we too may transcend our cares, our sorrows, our daily pain,
and lift those around us with our joy at your Resurrection,
so that all may know You, and our heavenly Father through You,
and with all the heavenly hosts sing Your praises forever.
Amen.
