Collect: Gracious God, we thank you for your Son who is the Resurrection and Life. Embolden us to be firm in our faith; empower us to cross boundaries in love and service; and enlighten us to recognise the Risen Lord on the untrodden paths of our lives. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who conquered death by rising again and assures us of eternal life, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God now and forever more. Amen.
