Risen Christ,
for whom no door is locked, no entrance barred:
open the doors of our hearts,
that we may seek the good of others
and walk the joyful road of sacrfice and peace,
to the praise of God the Father. Amen.
Collect for Easter 2
Our Gospel reading starts on the evening of Easter Day. The disciples are sheltering in a room which is locked to keep out the Jewish leaders and guards. Jesus may be risen but the dangers are still out there. Events are unfolding one appearance at a time. Jesus comes bearing three essential gifts - peace, joy and self-worth. He has come to heal and recommission his team.
Enjoy pondering his Easter offerings.
Which of these gifts would you like to receive?
Every blessing,
Revd Katrina (Vicar)
