Lenten Devotionals Easter Sunday April 9, 2023

“But 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. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples.’”
(Matthew 28:5-7)

Through the interior work you have done this Lent, what have you noticed in your outward life? Has your
interior work benefited how you walk through the world, how you carry yourself, how you are with others?
Are you more open, accepting, ready to follow or trust?

On Easter we celebrate resurrected life. As soon as the women at the tomb became aware of Jesus’ resurrection,
the angel told them to go and share the good news. I pray this Lenten journey has raised, or resurrected,
awareness of who you are in relationship to God. I pray this interior work has blessed your outward living in
ways that send you ready to share the Good News.

Pray:  Free me through Christ, O God, so I can live a resurrected life, ready to share the Good News. Amen
