| The Empty Tomb - Richard Bavin, 2013 - Methodist Modern Art Collection |
Lord, as we rise this day,
fill our lives anew with the truth of your empty tomb.
Roll away the darkness
that distracts and divides;
that we may all reflect
the light of your love.
Roll away the heavy weight
of injustice and inequality;
may the explosive power of
your resurrection reveal the path to peace.
Roll away all suffering
and sorrow;
restore us with your promise of new life; renew us with a passion for the possible.
Roll away our fear and
pride;
reveal your strength
through our weakness.
Roll away our silence;
let us speak only the Good
News of Christ crucified.
May all who come looking
for the risen Lord this day, discover that we have already been found;
by our Saviour, Jesus
Christ.
Amen.
A prayer inspired by Mark 16.1-8 read at Morning Prayer on the
first day of the St Augustine’s College Residential Week, Easter Monday 2021
