Opening Prayer (unison)
Lord of Life, submitting to death, you conquered the grave. By being lifted on the cross, you draw all peoples to you. By being raised from the dead, you restored to humanity all that we had lost through sin. Throughout these fifty days of Easter we proclaim the marvelous mystery of death and resurrection. For all praise is yours, now and throughout eternity. Amen.
