NEW LIFE

May the God whose power breaks through the stone
Break into your life and free you from all that binds you.
May the risen Christ whose love is stronger than death
speak your name and bring you new life and joy.
May the Spirit who walks the road with you
give you wisdom to understand and courage to share
God's new life for the whole world.
