Third Sunday of Easter, Collect (Redub)


God of constant love,
so many who followed Jesus
were glad to meet him again after he had died.
Your love for the whole world was shown by this.
We pray that we would recognize you
appearing among us, in friend and stranger.
May the joy of the resurrection shape
our loving service of people, creatures and planet.
Amen.

The Gunning Fog readability index suggests 7.18 years of formal education is required to understand this prayer on a first reading, the Common Worship prayer requires 31.02 years.

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

My five Third Sunday of Easter Collects and Post Communions 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.
