Easter is a sunrise, a new beginning

Each dawn proclaims resurrection.  Every sunrise tells of a new beginning and all creation sings for joy.  From the start of time, Divine Creator, you painted each day with light, fashioned beauty from mountain heights to valley lows, and caused praise to whistle through trees and splash on seashores. When we took to hurrying through beauty, bruising each other, and taking blessings for granted, you sent Jesus to open our eyes to the new dawn and stir our dreams to a new beginning. Easter is our second chance; our try once more. For each new dawn is a resurrection gift, a possibility to deepen relationships, forgive ourselves and those near us, make peace, and share love.  Every sunrise rolls back the stone of doubt and lets the “Alleluia” loose.
