Introductory Responses
Alleluia! Christ is risen.
The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia!
Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
who has given us new life and hope
by raising Jesus from the dead.
Rejoice, then, even in our distress.
We shall be counted worthy when Christ appears.
God has claimed us as beloved children
and called us from our darkness
into the light of the resurrection.
May Christ’s grace and peace be with us.
May God fill our hearts with joy.
Collect of the Day
Living and gracious God,
through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ
you have brought us out to a spacious place
where we are called to live as those redeemed.
Empower us by your Spirit
to keep your commandments,
that we may show forth your love
with gentle word and reverent deed
to all your people
through our risen Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
for ever and ever. Amen.
