The Collects of the Day during Easter Week proclaim the fulfillment of the promise of new life in Christ and calls us to live more deeply in the Covenant of the Father: that dying daily to sin we may live with Christ in the joy of his resurrection; being renewed in body and mind, we may worship the Father in sincerity and truth; that through the life-giving Spirit we may be raised from the death of sin; that we may be found worth to attain to the everlasting joys; abiding in his presence, and rejoicing in the hope of eternal glory; beholding in this life all his redeeming work; professing in our lives what we profess by our faith; and always serving him in pureness of living and truth.
As we contemplate the mystery of our salvation we are overwhelmed by the gift of new life that is ours through, in, and with Christ. May our journey toward Pentecost be one of deepening our relationship with our Savior and Lord and come to know him more deeply in prayer and mission.
