ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS 
April 21, 2025
Prayer for the Week: May the resurrection we proclaimed yesterday become the resurrection we personify today. Holy Power of Grace, every attempt to contain you and limit your impact upon this world is temporary at best. Every tomb has an expiration date, for nothing can separate us from your eternal love. There are those who seek to create a larger and more intimidating stone to seal the tombs of their own making, but your promise is undeterred. Your grace that raised Jesus from the dead finds such obstacles as unimpressive, and Easter reveals itself over and over again. Give us the faith to live as those who see Easter as something that stretches well beyond a 24-hour period. If the tomb could not contain the power of Easter, why should we think a date on a calendar could? Amen.
