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.
