Easter Monday



Grant, we pray, Almighty God, that we who celebrate with awe the Paschal feast may be found worthy to attain to everlasting joys; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

[Just as a personal exercise in thankfulness, which is entirely appropriate for Easter Week, I thought I'd illustrate the collects with photos of things for which I'm thankful.  It's a rather eclectic collection.  Naturally, I'm thankful for family, friends, and the life I've been lucky to experience, but there are some things, innocuous and small, that have also made a difference.  For example, that which is captured in the photo above.  Anyone who knows me understands.]
