Lord, who createdst man in wealth and store,<\/p>\n
Though foolishly he lost the same,<\/p>\n
Decaying more and more,<\/p>\n
Till he became<\/p>\n
Most poor:<\/p>\n
With thee<\/p>\n
Oh let me rise<\/p>\n
As larks, harmoniously,<\/p>\n
And sing this day thy victories:<\/p>\n
Then shall the fall farther the flight in me.<\/p>\n
My tender age in sorrow did begin:<\/p>\n
And still with sicknesses and shame<\/p>\n
Thou did\u2019st so punish sin,<\/p>\n
That I became<\/p>\n
Most thin<\/p>\n
With thee<\/p>\n
Let me combine,<\/p>\n
And feel this day thy victory,<\/p>\n
For, if I imp my wing on thine,<\/p>\n
Affliction shall advance the flight in me.<\/p>\n
George Herbert, The Temple<\/i><\/p>\n
Spring bursts today,<\/p>\n
For Christ is risen and all the earth\u2019s at play.<\/p>\n
Christina Rossetti<\/i><\/p>\n
Easter says to us that despite everything to the contrary, his will for us will prevail, love will prevail over hate, justice over injustice and oppression, peace over exploitation and bitterness.<\/p>\n
