Easter prayer meditation: give praise to Jesus

Alleluia! All the glory, praise and honor to you, the Glorious Lord Jesus! You have risen from the grave, you have overcome sin and death, you have opened the doors to Heaven! Alleluia! All praise and honor to you, the most glorious Lord Jesus!

My Lord, hope is restored, joy and excitement are instilled in many hearts while You rose silently, sweetly and gloriously from the dead and bring new life to this fallen world. Sweet Jesus, give me the eyes of faith that I can see and believe in your resurrection. Help me know the effects of your triumph on my life. When I know you, my risen Lord, help me to entrust you with all that I am and all that I hope to be. Help me to trust in the abundant Mercy that flows from your risen soul.

Dear Lord, help me to enter deeply into the mystery of Easter during this eight-day celebration of the Easter Octave. I pray that every day of this Octave will be a day of deep trust and union with You in the glory of your Resurrection.

The Lord of Mercy, while our Church is preparing for the glorious celebration of Mercy, poured out in a special way on the eighth day of this Octave, the Sunday of Divine Mercy, help me to open my heart more deeply than ever to the abundance of Grace and Mercy you wish to give. Pour your mercy into my life and into the life of all your children. I offer you my family, my friends, my community and the whole world. I pray for the faithful, the sinners, the lost and confused, the faithful, the clergy, our Holy Father and all your precious children. May we all anticipate, with ardent hope, the abundance of grace you wish to dispense.

My risen Jesus of mercy, I trust in you. Jesus I believe in you. Jesus I believe in you!

Alleluia! All the glory, praise and honor to you, the Glorious Lord Jesus! You have risen from the grave, you have overcome sin and death, you have opened the doors to Heaven! Alleluia! All praise and honor to you, the most glorious Lord Jesus!
