PRAYER ON THE RESURRECTION

O Lord Jesus Christ, hope of the sorrowful; health of the sick; life of the dying; resurrection of the dead! Rendering Thee my thanks, I beseech Thee, O most high God, that Thou who, breaking the bonds of death, didst rise from the grave in power and in joy, wouldst grant me, wretched mortal that I am, a share in the first resurrection by forgiving my sins, and in the second resurrection by bestowing on me a never-ending life with Thy saints in heaven. Amen.
