A Prayer of Thanksgiving for Easter

Thanks be unto thee, O Christ, because thou hast broken for us the bonds of sin and brought us into fellowship with the Father.

Thanks be unto thee, O Christ, because thou hast overcome death and opened to us the gates of eternal life.

Thanks be unto thee, O Christ, because where two or three are gathered together in thy Name there art thou in the midst of them.

Thanks be unto thee, O Christ, because thou ever livest to make intercession for us.

For these and all other benefits of thy mighty resurrection, thanks be unto thee O Christ.

‘Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!’ Rubens painted the Resurrection of Christ (1611-12) as the centre of a triptych for the Cathedral of Our Lady, Antwerp, in a monumental and powerfully emotive Baroque style. #Easter pic.twitter.com/5OaAC895ya
