Almighty God, Your crucified and buried Son did not remain in the tomb for long., Give us joy in the tasks set before us, that we might carry out faithful acts of service as did Joanna, Mary and Salome, offering to You the sweet perfume of our grateful hearts, so that we, too, may see the glory of your resurrection and proclaim the Good News with unrestrained eagerness and fervor worked in us through Lord Jesus Christ who rose and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
