My we never again think and act as if Thou were dead. Let us more and more

praying to the Conqueror of Death, that we may no longer be afraid nor
dismayed by the world?s problems and threats, since Thou hast overcome the
world. In Thy strong name, we ask for Thy living presence and Thy
victorious power. Amen." | |
