Christ is Risen! Risen indeed!

Jesus Christ, we greet you!

Your hands still have holes in them,

your feet are wet from the dew;

and with the memory of our names

undimmed by three days of death

you meet us,

risen from the grave.

We fail to undersand how;

we puzzle at the reason why.

But you have come:

not to answer our questions,

but to show us your face.

You are alive

and the world can rejoice again.

Hallelujah!

Amen!
