It was a joy to be Celebrant and Preacher on Easter Day as the Interim Rector of Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Orlando Florida. Here is my homily based on John 20:1-18. 

May you always find the courage each day to say “yes” to the Present Risenness of Jesus, welcoming him each day with joy. Here is a prayer I say every morning from Celtic Daily Prayer.

The Opening Door

“Enter, Lord Christ— I have joy in Your coming. You have given me life; and I welcome Your coming. I turn now to face You, I lift up my eyes. Be blessing my face, Lord; be blessing my eyes. May all my eye looks on be blessed and be bright, my neighbors, my loved ones be blessed in Your sight. You have given me life and I welcome Your coming. Be with me, Lord, I have joy, I have joy.” 

(From Northumbria Community, Celtic Daily Prayer)

Blessed Easter my friends,
