Bishop Says!
Apr 11
God of Easter welcome, gather those excluded by race, status, or identity. Let resurrection community be a place of belonging. Break barriers that divide, and form us into a people who recognize Christ in every neighbor.
Apr 10
Risen Lord, you greet fearful disciples with peace. Speak peace into societies gripped by anxiety and violence. Train us to reject fear-driven injustice and to embody courageous love that builds trust, heals wounds, and restores shared life.
Apr 9
Creator God, resurrection announces new creation. Renew systems grown corrupt and lives grown weary. Shape us as stewards of your reconciling work, tending justice with patience and courage until communities reflect your vision of flourishing and peace.
Apr 8
God of liberation, your resurrection breaks every chain. Free communities bound by poverty, racism, and fear. Teach us to participate in your renewing work, so policies, practices, and hearts reflect the freedom you desire for all your children.
Apr 7
Risen Christ, awaken hope where despair has taken root. Let resurrection shape our pursuit of justice, restoring lives crushed by violence and neglect. May we live as Easter people, proclaiming through word and deed that death, injustice, and hatred never have the final word.
