Gracious God we thank you for your son who is the resurrection and life. Embolden us to be firm in our faith; empower us to go beyond the boundaries to love and serve; and enlighten us to recognise the risen Lord in the untrodden paths of our life, through Jesus Christ our Lord who conquered death by rising again and assuring us the eternal life, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit now and forever more. Amen.
