A Prayer of Self-Dedication

Almighty and eternal God, 
so draw our hearts to you, 
so guide our minds, 
so fill our imaginations, 
so control our wills, 
that we may be wholly yours, 
utterly dedicated unto you; 
and then use us, we pray you, as you will, 
and always to your glory and the welfare of your people; 
through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

Collect of the Day: The Third Sunday in Easter

O God, whose blessed Son made himself known to his disciples in the breaking of bread: Open the eyes of our faith, that we may behold him in all his redeeming work; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
