God with us in our nature,
In our sorrow,
In our lifework,
In our punishment,
In our grace,
And now with us,
Or rather with Him,
In resurrection,

Ascension,
Triumph,
And Second Advent splendour.

~CH Spurgeon

VOCATION REFLECTION:

Peace be with you.The Lord gives us his Easter peace. Share that peace with someone who needs it. (Luke 24:35-48)

PRAYER FOR EASTER 

Lord God, you loved the world so much,
that you gave your only Son,
that we might be called your children too.
Lord, help us to live in the gladness
and grace of Easter everyday.
Let us have hearts of thankfulness for your sacrifice.
Let us have eyes that look upon your grace
and rejoice in our salvation.
Help us to walk in that mighty grace
and tell your good news to the world.
We ask this through Christ our Lord,
Amen.
