Easter is a time of joy and celebration that should be with us every day of the year. May this prayer to begin your meditation inspire hope and action:

May the Risen Lord inspire
Love in our hearts
Kindness in our thoughts
Useful action in our hands.

May the energy of Christ's love
Imbue us with desire
To lift those who are needy
With food and shelter.

To give back to the world
Through sharing
From the plentitude
Of nature's bounty.

For in sharing
We feel full in heart
Refreshed in knowing we are doing
What is right and good.

Remembering that Christ's rising
Is to be lived every moment
Through all actions in the day
And reflected upon in quiet meditation.

Holy Christ, keep us close to Thee
That all may link arms in action
For the care of our brothers and sisters
Our family of humanity
Filling the world
Your fulfillment in the world.
