The Fifth Glorious Mystery

Seed of Eternal Life,
sown by love's flowering
in the heavy clay of our hearts,
rise in us;
be our soul's spring.

By the risen feet of Christ,
walking upon the delicate grass;
by the wakened hands of Christ,
touching the cool petals of flowers;
by the opened eyes of Christ,
looking with joy
on all created things;
teach us to wonder,
and to walk upon the earth
aware of earth's loveliness,
aware of the Being of God
in all that is.

The Fifth Glorious Mystery,
the Resurrection
