I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe, –that unless I believed, I should not understand.-- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

A Prayer for the Second Sunday of Easter

Jesus, forgive us our sins. We are quick to forget about your death and resurrection. You fill our lives with Resurrection Moments that we overlook or downplay, and then we complain about your absence. We see doubt as a faith-obstacle instead of as a means to greater faith. We think that the discord around us is greater than the peace that you offer us. When hardship befalls us, we are quick to shrug you away.

Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us sinners. Forgive us. Amen.
