God, the Father of lights, you have glorified the world by the light of the risen Christ. Brighten our hearts today with the light of your faith.
Through your risen Son you opened the gate of eternal life for all human beings. Grant to us who work out our salvation daily the hope of eternal life.
You accepted the sacrifice of your Son and raised him from the dead. Accept the offering of our work which we perform for your glory and the salvation of all people.
Open our minds and hearts to our brothers and sisters. Help us to love and serve one another.
Your Son rose to lift up the downtrodden, comfort the sorrowful, cure the sick, and bring joy to the world. Help all people to cast off sin and ignorance and enjoy your Son's paschal victory.
