May the Lord bless you this Easter Time:
Bless you with faith,
guard you in doubt;
Bless you with hope,
uplift you in despair;
Bless you with love
keep you from fear;
Bless you with peace,
calm you in trouble;
Bless you with mercy,
help you forgive;
Bless you with joy,
comfort you in sorrow
So your heart
may rejoice
in the Risen Lord.
Amen.
- Columban Fr. Pat Sayles
