May the God who raised Jesus from the dead give you new life
in God.
Even though Easter isn't really about bunnies and baskets, it is about time with family and rejoicing in the new life given daily by our Risen Lord.
Almighty God, who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord's resurrection, may be raised from the death of sin by your life-giving Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, collect for Easter)
