O Lord of all the earth,
in this season of Easter
remind us
how your power freed us
from bondage.
When we worry over how
we are going to
move a huge stone that
is blocking our way,
remind us of your power
to melt mountains.
Teach us the importance
of hard work,
but the still greater
importance
of your grace.

You shall observe the festival of unleavened bread, for on
this very day I brought your companies out of the land of Egypt: you shall
observe this day throughout your generations as a perpetual ordinance.

On the contrary, I worked harder than any of [the other apostles]--though it

away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?" When they

rolled back.
