Easter Eve / Holy Saturday, Collect (Children's Reboot)


Thank you God for the
deep waters of creation.
Thank you God for the waters
that carried us to birth.
Thank you God for the water
that we can drink.
Thank you for the water that
gives life to our planet.
Thank you that Jesus passed through
the waters of death.
Thank you for the water
we use when we get baptized.
Amen.

The Gunning Fog readability index suggests 4.13 years of formal education is required to understand this prayer on a first reading, the Common Worship prayer requires 27.85 years.

Here's the information on how this prayer is a reboot.

My three Easter Eve / Holy Saturday Collects are here.

You can also look at the full Index of Prayers.

The project runs from Advent 2012 to Advent 2013.

If you want to use the prayers, an acknowledgement of myself as author and, if there's space, the link to my blog would be much appreciated.
