Third Sunday of Easter
Lk 24:35-48
April 14, 2024

During Holy Week and now in Eastertide, I have become more convinced
that every desire, longing, fear, and disappointment is heard by God. Yet
what is equally convincing is that every answer to our hearts’ pleas
happens in God’s best timing.

Wishing you this truth, I share this Eastertide prayer for you and yours.

Eastertide

God, give you Joy this Easter Day, that bides with you
along life’s way, and fill your heart with blithesome cheer as
you pass on from year to year.

God, give you Peace this Easter Day, the peace that
cannot pass away, ‘twill turn life’s gray to ruddiest gold
and bring you blessings manifold.

God, give you Love this Easter Day, and all the twelve-
month may it stay to guide, to comfort you, and bless
and fill your life with happiness.
