2019 Easter Liturgy: The Marks of God
GATHERING
ENTRANCE
REFLECTION
Being in the world and loving one another…exposes us to wounding, to the giving and receiving of pain. Christ’s wounds … underscore the depth of his willingness to enter into our loving in all its hurt and hope and capacity for going horribly wrong. In wearing his wounds—even in his resurrection—he confronts us with our own and calls us to move through them into new life.
