Wondrous God, in Jesus you give us victory over death.

With joy we pray: ℟. Raise us to new life in Christ, O God.
Strengthen us to peacefully resist powers that breed
violence and injustice. ℟.
Fortify the faith of all believers, and carry us when
we falter. ℟.
Fulfill the longing of those who have died. ℟.
Our Father . . .
May God fill our hearts with rejoicing, lead us to follow
Christ, and bring us together to everlasting life.

Amen.
