American friar, Richard Rohr, captures the wonder of these Easter days in this beautiful prayer:
Loving God,
we love how You love us.
We love how You free us.
We love what You
have given and created to surround us.
Help us to recognise, and to
rejoice in, what has been given,
even in the midst of what is not
given.
Help us not to doubt all that You have given us,
even when we
feel our very real shortcomings.
We thank You for the promise and sign
of Your love
in the Eternally Risen Christ
who pervades all things in the
universe
unbound by any of our categories of logic or theology.
We
offer You our lives back in return.
We offer You our bodies, our
little lives,
our racing minds and restless hearts
into this one
wondrous circle of Love that is You.
My life is no longer just about me,
but it is all about YOU.
