O Divine Presence,
Today is a "in between" day. Yesterday, we reflected on Jesus death on a cross. Tomorrow, we celebrate resurrection, but today is "in the middle." Help us, O Lord, to use this time to prepare our hearts for a grand celebration of the new life that comes to us as a result of Easter. Bless us, we pray. May the mystery of Your presence sustain us. May the companionship of the Risen Lord inspire us. We surrender our hearts to you. In Jesus’ name we pray. AMEN.
