We’re here! Easter is the festival of festivals! The Queen of Feasts! This is the day we wait for. This is the day of new life. And with all we celebrate today, Easter is the day that shapes every day to come. So hear, repeat, and return to this prayer in the Easter season. It’s a beauty and it’s a benediction.

Beyond Easter we go singing.
Having been seized
by resurrection
we are full of tears and laughter.
The way ahead is unknown. It will always be like that.
but having danced in the light we will look for glory everywhere.
