Sunday 02 May: Fifth Sunday of Easter

Acts 9:26–31 / 1 John 3:18–24 / John 15:1–8

Almighty ever-living God, constantly accomplish the Paschal Mystery within us, that those you were pleased to make new in Holy Baptism may, under your protective care, bear much fruit and come to the joys of life eternal. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

If you are at home, take time during the day to pray for all those who are affected by the current situation. Pray for the world; for the Church; for our country and Government: for doctors, nurses and emergency services; for those at work; for your family, loved ones and friends; for those who are lonely or anxious; for the sick and dying: for the departed; and yourself and your own needs and concerns.

Daily Prayer as set by the Church of England is at Daily Prayer.

Bible readings are on lots of websites, for example Oremus at http://bible.oremus.org.

Keep us, good Lord, under the shadow of your mercy. Sustain and support the anxious, be with those who care for the sick, and lift up all who are brought low; that we may find comfort knowing that nothing can separate us from your love in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
