Easter Benediction

When it takes hold, resurrection doesn’t let go,
it shakes the dead awake,
it shakes the darkness from the light,
it shakes the silence from our throats
and it wrestles death from all that is dying

Let us go out into the world
and in the upheaval of resurrection
seek out the life

of awakening,

of enlightenment,

of proclamation,

of revived faith.

And the blessing of God Almighty,

Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer,

rest upon you today and always.

Amen.
