To Be a Theologian of the Cross

生命的父，不是死人的，乃是活人的上帝，
你差派你的聖子來宣揚生命，
拯救我們脫離死亡的權勢，
領我們進入復活之中。

求你釋放那些從邪靈死亡權勢中所揀選的人，
使得他們能夠為他們在復活基督裡的新生命作見證。

Father of life and God not of the dead but of the living,
you sent your Son to proclaim life,
to snatch us from the realm of death,
and to lead us to the resurrection.

Free these elect
from the death-dealing power of the spirit of evil,
so that they may bear witness
to their new life in the risen Christ.
