Psalm 145 | Hymn | Background
Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised;

God does great things;

God gives everything to all his creatures;

I praise the Lord

Acts 4 | Peter and John

The council gathered were surprised at the knowledge of God by Peter and John; they ordered him not to speak about Jesus; They threaten them again but could do nothing because of what great deed was done.

John 16 | Jesus

A little while they will see him and then not and then they will; you will have pain but you will rejoice; ask anything to God in my name and you will receive it; I came from the Father and will go back to the Father; the disciples believed what Jesus said; I will comfort you during persecution.

Prayers and Intercessions | Mission St Clare | Book of Common Prayer.
Today | Collect of the Day: Saturday in Easter Week

We thank you, heavenly Father, that you have delivered us from the dominion of sin and death and brought us into the kingdom of your Son; and we pray that, as by his death he has recalled us to life, so by his love he may raise us to eternal joys; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

For Mission

Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the cross that everyone might come within the reach of your saving embrace: So clothe us in your Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love, may bring those who do not know you to the knowledge and love of you; for the honor of your Name. Amen.

A Collect for Saturdays

Almighty God, who after the creation of the world rested from all you works and sanctified a day of rest for all your creatures: Grant that we, putting away all earthly anxieties, may be duly prepared for the service of your sanctuary, and that our rest here upon earth may be a preparation for the eternal rest promised to your people in heaven; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
