Easter Week: Behold a New Creation in Christ!

PRAY with Creation 

Christ is risen! Alleluia! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!

This Easter Week of great rejoicing offers many opportunities to behold and engage in a new creation in Christ. As the glory of Easter Sunday extends throughout the week, the Psalms and Canticles of Morning and Evening Prayer for Sunday are repeated each day. We offer the following reflections on these Scripture passages and suggested intercessions for each day of Easter Week for your individual and community prayer. Each intercession corresponds sequentially with the themes of our Lenten journey, which we revisit in the light of the Resurrection.

Read the full Easter Week bulletin from the Franciscan Action Network.
