Week 05 (April 19-25)

Easter is the season of light. Praying with a sunrise over the Biscayne Bay at Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart and reflecting on a poem about light, we are invited to consider the impact of the Easter as a moment of rebirth. Our closing prayer is supported by the choir of Newton Country Day School of the Sacred Heart.

EASTER BLESSING

The blessing of the morning light to you,
may it find you even in your invisible
appearances, may you be seen to have risen
from some other place you know and have known
in the darkness and that carries all you need.
May you see what is hidden in you
as a place of hospitality and shadowed shelter,
may that hidden darkness be your gift to give,
may you hold that shadow to the light
and the silence of that shelter to the word of the light,
may you join all of your previous disappearances
with this new appearance, this new morning,
this being seen again, new and newly alive.
