One Small Voice

God of openness, life and joy,
bless us this Easter season with Your
gentle and firm love.
Give us the ability to be open
to the wonders and beauties with
which You grace our days,
and help us celebrate
the diversity and plurality of people.

Give us the gift of joy.
May we enjoy life;
beginning each day with enthusiasm,
showing ourselves at all times
glad and joyful,
for You love “a cheerful giver”. (M Ward)

May we, like the Easter women,
tell the Good News of Your risen life
by the witness of our faith
and the quality of our lives.

and the quality of our lives.
