The Abiding Prfesence of Christ

O God, who through the resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ from the dead, has delivered us from the power of darkness and into the Kingdom of your love, Grant, we pray, that as by his death he has he has called us to new life, so by his presence ever abiding in us may he raise us to joys eternal.  through him who for our sakes died and rose again, and is ever with us in power and great glory.  Amen.
