PRAYERS FOR THE MONTH
| ©2018 St. Blasius Old Parish Church, Shanklin
The
Church
continues
to
be
alive
and
active,
but
our
buildings must close.
We
are
seeing
a
huge
increase
in
the
number
of
people
falling sick with COVID-19 and we must
distance
ourselves
from
one
another
and
prevent
the
spread of infection in order to save lives.
Therefore,
as
well
as
public
worship
being
suspended,
our
church building is now closed.
To
protect
the
vulnerable
amongst
us,
please
do
not
leave
your home except for essential trips
If
you
have
any
particular
concerns
please
contact
our
Priest-in-Charge or one of our Churchwardens.
The Sunday and Festival Collects for this month, with the endings
(‘Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen’, etc) omitted.
5th April - Palm Sunday
Almighty and everlasting God, who in your tender love towards the human race sent your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ to take
upon him our flesh and to suffer death upon the cross: grant that we may follow the example of his patience and humility, and
also be made partakers of his resurrection…
9th April - Maundy Thursday
God our Father, you have invited us to share in the supper which your Son gave to his Church to proclaim his death until he
comes: may he nourish us by his presence, and unite us in his love; who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
10th April - Good Friday
Almighty Father, look with mercy on this your family for which our Lord Jesus Christ was content to be betrayed and given up
into the hands of sinners and to suffer death upon the cross; who is alive and glorified with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
now and for ever.
12th April - Easter Sunday
Grant, Lord, that we who are baptized into the death of your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ may continually put to death our evil
desires and be buried with him; and that through the grave and gate of death we may pass to our joyful resurrection; through
his merits, who died and was buried and rose again for us, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
19th April - Second Sunday of Easter
Almighty Father, you have given your only Son to die for our sins and to rise again for our justification: grant us so to put away
the leaven of malice and wickedness that we may always serve you in pureness of living and truth; through the merits of your
Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
26th April - Third Sunday of Easter
Almighty Father, who in your great mercy gladdened the disciples with the sight of the risen Lord: give us such knowledge of
his presence with us, that we may be strengthened and sustained by his risen life and serve you continually in righteousness
and truth; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord.
