O Risen Christ, conqueror from death. By your life and your love, you revealed to us the face of the Lord. By your Passover you united Heaven to Earth, and the encounter with the love of God you allowed all of us. Through you, Risen One, the children of light are reborn to eternal life, and the doors of the kingdom of heaven are opened to those who believe in your word. From You we receive the life that You possess in fullness, for our death was redeemed by Your resurrection, our life rises again and is illuminated now, today and forever. Come back to us, O our Easter, Your revivifying countenance and allow that, through listening to Your Good News, we may be renewed, in joy and love, by attitudes of resurrection and reach grace, peace, health and happiness for you to cover us with love. and immortality. With God and Jesus now life is eternal. We take this moment to celebrate Your Glory, Your Passion and the opening of Heaven to all of us believers in Your word of hope and love. To Thee, ineffable sweetness and our eternal life, Thy power and Thy love reign among us now and for ever and ever. May Your word be the joy of all who, in meeting with renewed faith, celebrate Jesus risen in glory to Your name. Amen!

O Jesus Crucified, who, with infinite love, wanted to sacrifice your life for our salvation; We have come here to thank you for such great kindness, through our surrender, repentance and conversion. We ask forgiveness for the faults we have committed against justice and fraternal charity. Like you, we want to forgive, love and respond to the needs of our brothers and sisters. Give us strength to carry the cross each day, patiently enduring work and infirmities. Friend of the poor, the sick and the sinners, come to our aid! And, if it is for our good, grant us the grace that we are asking you for. O Jesus Crucified, Way, Truth and Life, we promise faithful to your love, to follow you today and always, so that, purified by your precious Blood, we can share with you the eternal joys of the Resurrection! So be it.

Prayer composed by Pope Paul VI

O Holy Spirit, give me a big heart, open to your silent and strong inspiring word, closed to all petty ambitions, alien to any despicable human competition, pervaded by the meaning of the holy Church! A big heart, willing to become like the heart of the Lord Jesus! A big and strong heart to love everyone, to serve everyone, to suffer for everyone! A big and strong heart, to overcome all trials, all boredom, all weariness, all disappointment, all offense! A big and strong heart, constant to the point of sacrifice, when necessary! A heart whose happiness is to beat with the heart of Christ and to humbly, faithfully and firmly fulfill the will of the Father. Amen
