Rosemary’s Blessing:  A Prayer for Easter Sunday (from A Book of Irish American Blessings and Prayers by Andrew Greeley)

Oh God who bestows life prodigous and of whose abundant graciousness the rabbit and the egg and the lily are symbols, renew our life of faith on this morning of joy and help us to sing the alleluia with confidence and hope that some day, just like Jesus, we too will rise again.  We ask this in the name of the Risen Jesus.

May God protect you

From silly fears and from bitter tears

From foolish fights and from sleepless nights

From excessive needs and from nasty deeds

From self-made hells and from all bad times.

Mike reading from Ecclesiastes

Rosemary's Blessing of the Week.

But after everything, and even when the skies turn scarlet and threatening, I still believe that if we are lucky enough to be alive, we must give thanks for the miracle of every moment of every day, no matter how flawed.  And we must have faith in God, and in the Universe, and in a better tomorrow even if that faith is not always deserved.

Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan
