The Gospel for All Ages

About the Gospel:
Jesus’ friends discover that his tomb is empty on the third day after his death.  They do not know where he has gone.  Jesus appears to his friends and shares that he has been raised from the dead.  His friends rejoice that he has returned. 

Family Prayer:
Alleluia!  We are filled with joy that Jesus has been raised from the dead.  Help us, God, to share our joy with others.  Amen.
