We adore you, Christ, Son of the living God. In triumph you rose from the grave and bore in your hands the keys of death and hell; we rejoice in your almighty power and glory. Raise us up with you above all earthly desires, inspire us with thoughts of joy, hope and love. Enter within our hearts and say, “Peace be with you.” Give us grace to see you with the eyes of understanding so that we may know you walking by our side on our earthly pilgrimage. Come to us and dwell within us; stay with us and make yourself known to us in the scriptures and in the breaking of bread. Teach us, as we sail our boat through the darkness of life, to see you standing on the everlasting shore of peace and let us come to you across the waters.
