Joy to the world! Jesus Christ is risen, halleluiah!
We thank you loving God,
that when all seemed lost, you poured your love, grace and life
into the world again, bringing your Son back from death,
so that all might live.
Thank you for your love
that gives us all the chance of a new beginning – time and time again.
Thank you for your grace
that is for all people, without prejudice, for in Christ all are one.
Thank you for your life
that flows through the world in your Spirit.
Help us, like Mary, to share the story of Jesus’ resurrection
with a world that longs for good news.
In the name of the risen one. Amen.
