Below is the morning prayer the Church universally prayed tuesday morning:
hear our morning prayer
and let the radiance of your love
scatter the gloom of our hearts.
The light of heaven's love has restored us to life:
free us from the desires that belong to darkness.
We ask this through Jesus Christ,
your son, who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever."
Every time we pray we close the prayer with the doxology; in the doxology we acknowledge that Jesus Christ, lives and reigns.
This living and reigning that we acknowledge is the concrete manifestation of heaven's love, a love that not only conquers darkness and death, but a love, as the prayer states, that has restored us to life.
This day give thanks for the restoration we have received and the restoration that continues forth as we journey toward union with God.
