vance, if you will, that brings to
fruition our Lenten insights. This
Easter season allow yourself to be
saturated with the love and joy of
the Resurrection. Let pride take a
back seat to be replaced by love and forgiveness. Craft your words so that they
are loving and affirming, rather than negative and critical. Look for the gold in
those around you. Assume the best intentions in others. Speak only if your
words are true, necessary and kind.
This Easter, may we strive to live the Resurrection, not merely talk about it, and
not skate over it, once we get past Easter Sunday, as though nothing really sig-
nificant and life changing took place. May we make the Resurrection truly a part
of our life.

Lord, the resurrection of Your Son has given us new life and renewed hope.
Help us to live as new people in pursuit of the Christian ideal.
Grant us wisdom to know what we must do, the will to want to do it,
the courage to undertake it, the perseverance to continue to do it,
and the strength to complete it.
