Collect of the Day | Second Sunday of Easter

Almighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal mystery

established the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all

who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ's Body may

show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith;

through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you

and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

For Mission

Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hardwood

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.

Glory to God whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than
we can ask or imagine: Glory to him from generation to generation in
the Church, and in Christ Jesus for ever and ever. Amen.     Ephe
