Dear Lord,
On the vigil of Easter your people pray that on this
magnificent feast, your people will rejoice in sharing
your glory. Especially when we gather at Eucharist
and offer ourselves , through him, with him and in
Him to thee all honor and glory. We hope and can
be assured that when we do this every Sunday that we will surely pray the
same words when we see God. I believe that when someone dies they do
not go into the grave only but rather stay united with the people they love
— that is why we pray for them and remember them always. May we vigil
with them and Easter with them as we rejoice in your victory of resurrec-
tion which we share every day of our lives. We are an Easter people in
which Christ lives uniting us together. For the glory of God and the salva-
tion of all. May we rejoice in fulfilling our command to love one another as
you love us. We cannot do this without you and so we pledge to unite our
lives with yours today and forever.
