The Incredulity of Saint Thomas
(Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio)
Prayer for Divine Mercy
Lord, I behold your five wounds marking your
resurrected body: Perfect humanity in union with perfect Divinity. Hide
me in your wounds that I may partake in your risen life. Your wounds no
longer kill, but bring eternal life. I join the wounds of the sufferings
of my life to your wounds and they become scars on a resurrected heart:
no longer killing me with bitterness, but bringing the redemption of
your life in me. Your mercy heals all.
Amen.
(David
Morrison)
Thirsting
for the Risen Life
Let us pray [as
Christians thirsting for the risen life]
Heavenly Father and God of mercy, we no longer look for Jesus among the
dead, he is alive and has become the Lord of life. In the waters of
death you raise us with him and renew your gift of life within us.
Increase in our minds and hearts the risen life we share with Christ and
help us to grow as your people toward the fullness of eternal life with
you. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
(Liturgy of the
Hours)
