THE BLESSING OF THE EASTER GARDEN
The angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for
Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said’.
Risen Lord Jesus,
as Mary Magdalene met you in the garden
on the morning of your resurrection,
so may we meet you today and every day:
speak to us as you spoke to her;
reveal yourself as the living Lord;
renew our hope and kindle our joy;
and send us to share the good news with others.
Amen
OPENING RESPONSES.
We meet in the name of God:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The Lord be with you:
and also with you.
This is the day that the Lord has made:
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
WE CONFESS OUR SINS TO GOD.
Father God, we do not always do the right things;
we do not always tell the truth;
we do not always love other people as we should.
We are sorry for the times when we
have hurt others and made you sad.
Please forgive us and help us to become
the people you want us to be.
We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen

ABSOLUTION (WE ARE ASSURED OF GOD’S FORGIVENESS).
May the God of love and power forgive you t
and free you from your sins,
heal and strengthen you by his Spirit,
and raise you to new life in Christ our Lord. Amen.
