Dear God,

You created us through Your Son to be good, joyful, and true. When the darkness of sin tried to overshadow us, You sent Jesus to become one of us, to suffer and die for us, and to rise from the dead, to give us new life. His light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overtake it, seize it, or lay hold of it.

Lord Jesus, You promised You would be with us always, until the end of the age. Your Resurrection from the dead is our hope—proof that death does not have the last word, that Life will be victorious at the end. We rejoice today not simply because we have Your memory living within us, but because we have YOU living within us!

As we sing our triumphant Alleluias this Easter, Lord Jesus, surrounded by the radiant colors and aromatic scents of Spring, may our hearts awaken to a new life and a longing for eternity.

Help us to establish Your victory in our world through Your gifts of righteousness and truth, mercy, forgiveness, and love. Dear Mother Mary, Star of our hope, lead all people into the safe haven of salvation which is the heart of your Son. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Alleluia!

    What came to be through him was life,
and this life was the light of the human race;
the light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:4-5

On behalf of our Autom family we wish you a Blessed Easter!
