The sun shines on the sea off the Liberian coast.
“Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.”
We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you,
because by your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world.
Jesus is alive. He has conquered death and is here among us.
His resurrection opens the way of hope and assures us that injustice, pain and death can be overcome.
As Cynthia, in Liberia reflects, “I look at the past and see how far we have come. We have got over so many difficult challenges from before. We have overcome so much together.”
As we reflect on Jesus’ final journey, we pray for the strength to live each day as people transformed through God’s love. May we radiate God’s love to all our sisters and brothers throughout the world.
Prayer
Jesus, you share your life, your light and your peace with us all.
Walk with us.
Show us how to live out your love
so that our sisters and brothers,
here and around the world,
may know the joy of new life.
May we all be changed by living in your light.
Amen.
