Easter 1 Morning Prayer

Thanks to the Choirs of the Cathedrals of Guildford, Wakefield, Lincoln and Peterborough for their music today. 🎼🎢🎡 πŸ“–πŸ›.

The Lord is risen indeed. Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Almighty God, thank you for this beautiful spring day in Halifax and our continuing celebration of Easter. We continue to pray today for all those who have been affected by the COVID-19, especially for the sick (including our friend Tim), the vulnerable, the fearful, all healthcare workers, essential workers, the unemployed, and all others who are affected by this plague. We pray that the violence currently happening near Portapique is ended shortly and peace may be granted to all those impacted by this unfortunate event. We continue to pray for our Sovereign Lady, Elizabeth, all her Governments, and her armed forces, that they be granted the necessary wisdom, resources, and power to overcome this plague and maintain peace and order throughout her dominions. We also pray for the Christian peoples of the orthodox faith and for the Ecumenical Patriarch, Bartholomew, as they celebrate Easter today; that despite our differences in doctrine, we all worship and glorify the same, thy Son Jesus Christ, who receiveth our prayer this day. Amen.

Collect of the Day: Almighty Father, who hast given thine only a Son to die for our sins, and to rise again for our justification: Grant us so to put away the leaven of malice and wickedness, that we may alway serve thee in pureness of living and truth; through the merits of the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
