Collect: Dear Lord, when Thomas could not believe without seeing, but recognised you as his Lord and God: release our faith, that we would recognise you as saviour of the world, and follow you as Lord, wherever you may lead.

Easter Monday: Dear Lord who gave St. Mark grace to present to your church the Gospel of our Lord, Yeshuah haMoshiach and to be the first Bishop of Alexandria.

grave. Our faith in you assures us that if we experience a death like yours, we will

Father, as we finish our Passover Observance, help us to maintain our lives free from sin and to keep our eyes on the Passover lamb.


Easter Wednesday: May the Holy Spirit keep us ever mindful that our views are not always as God's views. Help us to have the patience to listen to his will and trust in his ways. In this, we shall become his patient children. Amen.


Easter Thursday: Grant heavenly Father, that we who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord's resurrection now go out into the world and do his will. The Lord is risen indeed! Let us glorify his name! Amen


Easter Friday: Heavenly Father, you gave Catherine of Siena gifts of wisdom, insight and knowledge.

Easter Saturday: O Gracious Redeemer, we thank you for the assurance that despite our wanderings, you will not abandon us. As we gather for worship today, fill us anew with your spirit and grant us your peace again. For the glory of your name. Amen.
