Saturday in Easter Week
The Collect:
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 for ever. Amen.
