The risen Jesus penetrates the entire cosmos
pervades the whole world,
And makes his presence felt in every human being.
The resurrection is a process that began with Jesus
and will go on until it embraces all creation.
Wherever an authentically human life is growing the world,
Wherever justice is triumphing over the instincts of domination,
Wherever grace is winning out over the power of sin,
in their social life together,
Wherever love is getting the better of selfish interests
and hope is resisting the lure of cynicism or despair,
There the process of resurrection is being turned into reality.
your people...
Restore us, O Holy One;
let your face shine upon us,
teach us to love...
You companion us through the wilderness,
through the shadows created by fear.
You plant your Seed into each heart...
Restore us, O Holy One!
Let your face shine upon us,
teach us to love!
