Prayer for Easter (Saint Gregory's Easter Prayer)
Dear Father, it is only
right, with all the powers of our heart and mind, to praise You Father and Your only begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. By Your wondrous condescension of loving
kindness toward us, Your servants, You gave up Your
Son.
Dear Jesus, You paid the
debt of Adam for us to the Eternal Father by Your Blood poured forth in loving
kindness. You cleared away the darkness of sin by Your
magnificent and radiant Resurrection. You broke the bonds of death and rose
from the grave as a Conqueror. You reconciled Heaven and earth. Our life had no
hope of Eternal Happiness before You redeemed us. Your
Resurrection has washed away our sins, restored our innocence and brought us
joy. How inestimable is the tenderness of Your Love!
We pray to You, Lord, to
preserve Your servants in the peaceful enjoyment of
this Easter happiness. We ask this through Jesus Christ Our Lord, Who lives and
reigns with God The Father, in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer for Vocation
Dear Father, shine Your light upon me so that I may see my true vocation. Give
me the grace to hear Your word and be an example to
others of Your love for us. I pray
for all in Priesthood, Consecrated life, Marriage and Single life, and for all
who are listening to Your call, that they may answer You
in their vocation. Thank You for sending Your son Jesus - Lord of the Harvest - help
me to follow His example. May I freely, courageously and lovingly respond. Amen.
