Almighty Father,
who hast given thine only Son to die for our sins,

through the merits of the same thy Son
Jesus Christ our Lord.

Post Communion Prayer

Lord God our Father,
through our Saviour Jesus Christ
you have assured your children of eternal life
and in baptism have made us one with him.
Deliver us from the death of sin
and raise us to new life in your love,
in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit,
by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Collect Of The Word

Living God,
for whom no door is closed,
no heart is locked:
draw us beyond our doubts,
until we see your Christ
and touch his wounds where they bleed in others.
This we ask through Christ our Saviour,
who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
