"On this mountain the Lord of hosts

will make for all peoples
   a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine,
   of rich food full of marrow,

of aged wine well refined.
And he will swallow up on this mountain
   the covering that is cast over all peoples,
   the veil that is spread over all nations.
     He will swallow up death forever;
and the Lord God will wipe away

tears from all faces,
   and the reproach of his people

he will take away from all the earth,
   for the Lord has spoken.
It will be said on that day,
    'Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us.
   This is the Lord; we have waited for him;
   let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.'”

Isaiah 25:6-9  ESV

​

​​We worship You, Risen Christ,

for You in truth have been raised from the dead!

Help us to see that if Christ has been raised

then there is no obstacle, problem, or trial for which God will not give us the strength

to face and overcome.

​

​Holy Spirit, encourage us by

our Lord’s resurrection as we face

hostile opposition in our post-Christian,

post-conservative, self-exalting culture

to upholding and defending

the right to life of all human persons.
