Opening Prayer

O God,

Who on this Day

through your Only Begotten Son,
have conquered death
and

unlocked for us the path to eternity,
grant, we pray, that we who keep
the solemnity of the Lord’s Resurrection
may, through the renewal brought by your Spirit,
rise up in the light of life.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ,

your Son,
who lives and reigns with you

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God,

for ever and ever.

Amen.

Let us Sing in Glory to God

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, 
Thy will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Meditation Hymn

Closing Prayer

Look upon your Church,

O God,
with unfailing love and favor,
so that,

renewed by the paschal mysteries,

she may come to the glory of the resurrection.

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
