Collect: God of Life and Resurrection, we thank you for breaking the bonds of death through the risen Christ and calling us into the hope of eternal life. As you breathed life into the valley of dry bones and raised Jesus from the tomb, breathe your Spirit into us, that we may live as people of the resurrection – courageous in hope, steadfast in faith, and joyful in witness. Shape us, 0 God, to walk by faith and not by sight, looking to the eternal house you prepare for us. Renew our hearts, that we may proclaim your victory over death with boldness and compassion; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
