Late, as usual. *g*
Thank you.....today this thread very welcome.
On the third day he rose again
Tell us, Mary, what did you see
that early morning
on your way?
"I saw his tomb,
I saw the glory of Christ,
now risen,
angels who gave witness.
I saw the cloths
that covered his head and body.
I heard him speak my name
and turning, saw he was alive
At daybreak
I came weeping to the garden
for the one I lost.
But now, the Sun risen,
it was paradise,
and I, a new Eve,
had news of life for all the living."
Prayers Before the Cross
O Jesus, Son of God,
You were born in a stable
and died on the cross
for our salvation.
Say to your heavenly Father
at the hour of my death:
"Father, forgive them."
Say to your loving mother:
"Behold your daughter,
behold your son."
Say to my soul:
"This day you shall be
with me in Paradise."
"My God, my God, do not abandon me"
in that hour.
"I thirst," my God,
yes, my soul thirsts for you,
the fountain of living waters.
My life passes like a shadow.
Yet a little while and "it is finished."
So, my Savior,
from this moment and for all eternity,
"Into your hands, I commend my spirit."
Lord Jesus, receive my soul. Amen.
