 Lord of Resurrection surprises, open our hearts this day to the presence   

of Jesus Christ. Erase our excuses for unbelief, and exchange them for    

strong witness to the power of your mercy and love. Give us courage and challenge us to walk the path of discipleship, knowing that Jesus goes before us, leading and guiding our steps. In his name, we pray. 

   AMEN.
