O Lord, our God, whose mighty power raised your Son from death and made him the first of the dead to rise and be born again: Hear these prayers we make to you today in the joy of this wondrous mystery. As we celebrate the resurrection of your Son, clothe us in the new humanity patterned after him, so that, living according to his commandments in this world, we may stand before you with a clear conscience in the world to come.

And may your mighty power be blest and glorified, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: now and forever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

(A prayer of Fr. Laurence)
