Easter Sunday Christ is Risen. He is risen indeed.
Gospel: Mark 16: 1 – 8
Readings: 1 Corinthians 15: 12 – 26 The Resurrection of Jesus is an incident which concludes all the events of our salvation and the liturgical year. The Resurrection is the feast of all feasts. Every liturgical celebration is competed by the presence of Jesus the Risen Lord.
The Christian unity won’t come true unless we live in meekness and to forget ourselves to serve others following Jesus’ example, who took a human form, even though he is the image of the Lord, he suffered on the Cross and was risen to be glorified by the universe. The Resurrection is backed by very significant proofs: the empty tomb, the angel saying: “The Lord is not here!
He is risen”, the disciples who carried the perfume, the appearances of Jesus to his mother and Mary Magdalene and the other disciples. Jesus is the new Adam. The salvation of the humanity depends on Him. Our hope, faith and resurrection all depend on Him.
We ask the Lord to make our resurrection in Lebanon one from the moving sands, an exit from the divisions, and freedom from al that keep us from getting to dependence, safety and peace.
Amen.

Easter Prayer
Heavenly Father and God of mercy, I believe that Jesus is alive and has become the Lord of life. From the waters of Baptism you have raised me with him and renewed your gift of life within me.
Increase in my mind and heart the risen life I share with Christ and help me to grow in your wisdom and grace. Lord Jesus, you triumphed over death and destroyed the power of death in me, may I live only for you. Amen.
Resurrection Prayer
O Lord Jesus Christ, you are the true God. You are the light of the world. You are our Lord and our God. You were nailed to the Cross, and through your pierced side, we have all been healed. You descended into hades, and shattered its bonds. You raised those who were long dead in order to grant salvation to all; to scatter your enemies; and for those who hate you, to fall from before your face. You were raised in order to raise with yourself the whole world, each and everyone. Amen.
