EASTER COLLECT
Almighty God,
through your Son Jesus Christ
You overcame death and opened to us
the gate of everlasting life;
grant us so to die daily to sin,
that we may evermore live with him
in the joy of his resurrection:
who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit,
one God now and for ever.
Amen.
(New Zealand Prayer Book, p.593)

ReplyDelete“This is a day of Alleluias!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! The Lord is risen. He is risen indeed!
This is a day of foreplay—the soul aroused to life..”

Thank you for your support. I also appreciate learning about the Web Gallery of Art from your blog.
KittKatt, I just sent a donation to the WGA, because I use their art work so often on my blog. Their site is a treasure trove for me.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your series during Holy Week. Doug Blanchard was first a virtual friend, and, as of last year, is now a real life friend.
Happy Easter, all.
Ah, George Herbert!
ReplyDeleteThis is still my favorite of his poems. I've taught it many years now, and it never fails to move me and inspire me and teach me.
I don't know if it teaches my students, but I love it anyway!
Rmj, is teaching the poem like climbing a mountain with your students in this post-Christian era?
