7th Sunday of Easter, Collect (Redub)


God, within and beyond time:
in Jesus, the Christ, you are
in the heavenly places
still bearing the scars
of earthly suffering.
Give us the comfort,
that you will change us
and heal our world,
if not now, then in eternity.
Amen.

The Gunning Fog readability index suggests 10.15 years of formal education is required to understand this prayer on a first reading, the Common Worship prayer requires 29.71 years.

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

My collection of five 7th Sunday of Easter prayers 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.
