Living God, God of life, blessed are you for all human beings who sow life, their lives so that hope may germinate
hope. Help us to see the seeds of the Spirit sprouting where death imposes its law, where hatred
desertifies hearts. May the Paschal Mystery always be the source from which the disciples of your Son draw
the inner energy to go forward; and may your creative word be heard where people
may your creative word be heard wherever people join forces to fight all death. God who raises up, God who resurrects, hear us, through
Jesus Christ, the First-Born of the multitude of the living.
