Cornerstone -
Our Eastertide stories bring us healings, arrests, and questions from authorities.
By what power or by what name did you do this good deed?
Fill us with the Holy Spirit as You filled Peter, so we may join the communion of saints’ work. Fill us with the Holy Spirit, so we, too, may proclaim Your healing truth. Fill us with the Holy Spirit, so we may let it be known that You - Jesus Christ of Nazareth - are the power and the name by which the Church lives, moves, and has her being.
Rejected, crucified, and raised from the dead.
Salvation rests in no other mortal’s name. May Jesus of Nazareth be our salvific cornerstone upon which all else rests.
Amen.
