A Prayer of Repentance:
Almighty God,
Who through Your only begotten Son Jesus Christ has overcome death,
and opened to us the gate of everlasting life;
We humbly beseech You, that,
as by Your special grace going before us
You put into our minds good desires,
so by Your continual help we may bring the same to good effect;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
ever one God, world without end. Amen.
(Book of Common Prayer – Easter Sunday)
A Prayer of Thanksgiving: O Lord Jesus – we bless You that You are the resurrected one. You are the life and the giver of life. On this special day we rejoice that this is the Lord’s Day – and that every Sunday we remember and worship you as the living Saviour. Lord, we turn to You in our time of need. Whom else can we go to? Come to us. Forgive, heal, save and grant life. Amen.
