Freacking easter event

[christian-kiwi]

Grant, O Lord, that as we are baptised into the death of thy blessed Son our Saviour Jesus Christ, so by continually mortifying our corrupt affections we may be buried with him; and that through the grave, and gate of death, we may pass to our joyful resurrection; for his merits, who died, and was buried, and rose again for us, thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Collect for Easter Even 1662 BCP 

[christian-kiwi]

"This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.  And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.  And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on."

The Gospel Of Our Lord Jesus Christ According to St. Luke

[christian-kiwi]

It is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well-doing, than for evil-doing.  For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: by which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; which sometime were disobedient, when once the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing; wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water.  The like figure whereunto, even baptism, doth also now save us, (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience towards God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

Christ Is Risen!

Christ is risen! Ye sleeping buds, break! Open your green cerements, and wake To fragrant blossoming for His sweet sake. — Margaret French Patton.
