The resurrection of Jesus is indeed the basis of our hope. For in the light of this event, hope is no longer an illusion."

We have kept our distance from the Lord’s wounds: Holy Spirit, come!
We have turned away from our brothers & sisters in need... we have regarded the merciful & the poor in spirit as losers: Holy Spirit, come!

To those who watch you die, Lord, you give an opportunity to repent, to return to you, & to beat our breast in order to shatter our hardness of heart. Jesus, grant that we ... may always be mindful of you, so that when at last you come, death itself may find us alive.

When we are strong and when we are not: Teach us to love.
When we are bound by unjust laws or decisions ... when we are at odds with those uninterested in truth and justice: Teach us to love.
When we are tempted to despair ... when everyone says, “There is nothing to be done:” Teach us to love."

And you bring them to God, because your cross tears down walls, cancels debts, quashes judgements, establishes reconciliation. You yourself are the true Jubilee. Convert us to you, Jesus; though nailed fast to the cross, you are able to do all things.
Let us pray

You are attentive to both the men crucified with you...you are even concerned for the men who crucify you: you peer into the hearts of those who “know not what they do.” Nailed to the cross you intercede: you “stand between” conflicting parties.

Lord Jesus, you see your disciples divided ... you know how frail is our love: Grant peace & unity to your Church!
Lord Jesus, you wish us to be members of your body: Grant peace & unity to your Church!
Lord Jesus, you are enrobed in mercy: Grant peace & unity to your Church!"

You know each of us singly, so as to save us together: all of us, each & every one. And if the Church may appear today as a torn garment, teach us how to weave anew the fabric of our fraternity, grounded in your gift. We are your body, your seamless robe, your Bride. For so we are, all together.
