Collect:
GOD of our very being from everlasting to everlasting, we thank and praise YOU for YOUR unending love towards the whole world in sending YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST into this world to save the world through his death and resurrection. We are grateful for YOUR life-giving power which broke the evils of sin on the cross and raised JESUS our LORD from death as a gift for our salvation. Empower us to continue to celebrate life with YOUR creation. We pray this in the name of our SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST who reigns with YOU and the HOLY SPIRIT, one GOD, forever and ever.
Amen.
