The Good News is for all of us this day.
Christ loves us and calls us forth to
new life. No matter the past and no
matter what we have done or not done,
God’s love nourishes us with new
life and hope.
Holy One, the thought of death is overwhelming.
We don’t understand it, and we do not look
forward to it. We often see death as the
end and as a terrible event we all must face.
Our trust in your plan and promise often is
weak or entirely lacking. In short, Lord,
we are fearful. So, Lord, we pray
that through your Spirit our hearts would
grow calm and our trust in you
would be strong and true; in Christ’s name.
Amen.
