Prayer for Easter God our Father, by raising Christ your Son you conquered the power of death and opened for us the way to eternal life. Let our celebration today  raise us up and renew our lives by the  Spirit that is within us. Grant this through our Lord  Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you  and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. ~anonymous~ Explore This Website

This is the night of nights, the night of faith and of hope. While all is shrouded in darkness, God, the Light, keeps watch. With him there keep watch all who hope and trust in Him. O Mary, this is truly your night! As the last lights of the Sabbath are extinguished, and the fruit of your womb rests in the earth, your heart too keeps watch! Your faith and your hope look ahead. Behind the heavy stone, they already detect the empty tomb; behind the thick veil of darkness, they glimpse the dawn of the Resurrection. Grant, O Mother, that we too may keep watch in the silence of the night, believing and hoping in the Lord’s word. Thus shall we meet, in the fullness of light and life, Christ, the first-fruits of the risen, who reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit, for ever and ever. Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia!   L’Osservatore Romano, 3 April 2002, English Edition (Source: http://www.catholic.org/) Explore This Website

Good Friday Prayer O Jesus, Who by reason of Thy burning love for us hast willed to be crucified and to shed Thy Most Precious Blood for the redemption and salvation of our souls, look down upon us here gathered together in remembrance of Thy most sorrowful Passion and Death, fully trusting in Thy mercy; cleanse us from sin by Thy grace, sanctify our toil, give unto us and unto all those who are dear to us our daily bread, sweeten our sufferings, bless our families, and to the nations so sorely afflicted, grant Thy peace, which is the only true peace, so that by obeying Thy commandments we may come at last to the glory of heaven. Amen.  Source: http://www.catholic.org/ Explore This Website
