Resurrection Sunday: When Life Conquered Death
Teach me to see the world through resurrection eyes—to recognize possibilities where others see only endings, to practice forgiveness where others harbor resentment, and to embody hope where others surrender to despair. Make me a Resurrection person, not just today but every day. Amen.
