Easter Blessing

Christ yesterday and today,

the beginning and the end,

Alpha, and Omega,

all time belongs to him,

and all the ages,

to him be glory and power,

through every age forever.

Amen.

By his holy and glorious wounds

may Christ our Lord

guard us and keep us.

Amen.

May the light of Christ, rising in glory,

dispel the darkness of our hearts and minds.

(From the Blessing of the Easter Candle, Easter Vigil Liturgy)
