A prayer for Easter Day
by the Revd Neil Thorogood

Jesus, we come like the women
who made their way in the dawn to mourn you;
we gather in worship and still we are fragile,
worried about the world and weary of weakness and wrongdoing,
and we discover that death could not stop you,
the tomb could not contain you, despair could not undo you.
Easter dawns for the women and the world with rejoicing beyond words!
Jesus, we come with the company of heaven
and the family of the Church to rejoice;
we gather in worship and still we are amazed,
renewed in faith and hope and love,
blessed in ways that give freedom to our souls,
named as the cherished children of God,
invited into creation made new and life made more beautiful.

Whatever we carry as we come to worship,
however our journey and history bring us
to this time upon this Easter day,
let us dwell deeply upon your story.
We remember that Easter’s joy grows from the sadness of the Cross.
You have taken upon yourself the burdens of our sin;
the failures of our living, the foolishness and the selfishness,
the spoken and the unspoken, the done and the undone,
the public and the secret evils that drag at us with so much power.
You have lifted these burdens from us,
and welcomed us once more into the heart of the God
whose longing is that all be saved.
Hear us, as in silence together,
we offer our own Easter ‘thank you’ and ‘sorry…’
