Collect: Gracious and Risen Lord, who gave your only Son as the ransom for our salvation-the supreme manifestation of your love – strengthen us by Your Spirit, just as the angel of the Lord strengthened Elijah with bread and water. As we partake in the Holy Eucharist, nourish us to bear the fruits of the spirit to the glory of your name, until we share in the fullness of eternal joy. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
