We pray to you, Father of Jesus Christ and our Father:
may the joyful news of the Resurrection burn brightly within us.
May it accompany us like a persistent word and melody,
so that, as it renews our lives,
it may reach all our brothers and sisters on the journey
and encourage them in their patient pilgrimage
through each day.
We pray this through Jesus Christ,
who, by his passage through death, directs our human paths
towards the life that is eternal.
towards the Life that is eternal.
