Risen Christ, as on the evening of your resurrection, breathe your Holy Spirit upon us. That Spirit will remind us of all that you said to your disciples, your friends. And then we understand: we can transmit the good news of your love first of all by our lives. Make us faithful to that love.

Eternal God, when we understand that nothing can shake your faithfulness towards the whole creation, we can do nothing other than sing to you! Your goodness is stronger than everything that could separate us from you. And when we look on the face or your Son, Jesus, whom you have raised from the dead, little by little our hearts are transformed so that this goodness may become a reality in our lives.
