May the presence of the Risen Christ
be celebrated
in homes and hearts
in the warmth of the sun bathing us
in picnics with friends
in walks along the shore
may the presence of the Risen Christ
be in the laughter of children
in the scanning of messages
in the administering of vaccines
may the presence of the Risen Christ
be in the sharing of food with another
in the lonely visitor in the hospital ward
in the church baring witness
to the risen one
may the presence of the Risen Christ
be with those who mourn and weep
be with those who stand up to tyranny
be with those who are fearful
be with those who doubt
may the presence of the Risen Christ
be with farmers and crofters
be with foresters and fencers
be with young and old
may the presence of the Risen Christ
be the witness to the power of love
God revealed
for the whole world
may the presence of the Rise Christ
be in the silence
of our hearts
as we pause to offer that which lies within
[pause]
Ever present One
be present in all things
bringing peace you alone can give
Amen
