READING
God raised Jesus from the dead, and for many days he appeared to those who had accompanied him from Galilee to Jerusalem: and it is these same companions of his who are now his witnesses before our people. We have come here to tell you the Good News. It was to our ancestors that God made the promise but it is to us, their children, that he has fulfilled it, by raising Jesus from the dead. As scripture says in the first psalm: You are my son: today I have become your father. - Acts 13:30 - 33

Lord, by your Spirit, guide those who govern us,
- that they may be servants of the common good in your name.
Pour out your Spirit, the protector of the poor,
- to help and life up all those in need.
We pray for all stewards of your mysteries,
- that they may always be found faithful.
By your suffering, resurrection and ascension you accomplished our redemption,
- bring it to completion in the souls and bodies of the dead.
