ONE: Christ is risen!
ALL: Risen indeed!
ONE: Whenever we choose life instead of the violence that brings death to bodies and souls,
ALL: Christ is risen!
ONE: Wherever the green shoot of love emerges from the concrete hardness of our hearts,
ALL: Christ is risen!
ONE: Wherever we seek good even in the midst of seemingly overwhelming evil,
ALL: Christ is risen!
ONE: Christ is risen, indeed.

ALL: We celebrate the possibility of peace, the Kin-dom of God, the authentic community of the living Christ emerging in our midst. May the resurrection continue to happen in our lives as we live out this reality in the world.
