READINGS FOR EASTER 7
Collect
Risen, ascended Lord, as we rejoice at your triumph, fill your Church on earth with power and
compassion, that all who are estranged by sin may find forgiveness and know your peace,
to the glory of God the Father. Amen
Acts 16: 16-34
One day, as we were going to the place of prayer, we met a slave-girl who had a spirit of divination
and brought her owners a great deal of money by fortune-telling. While she followed Paul and us,
she would cry out, ‘These men are slaves of the Most High God, who proclaim to you a way of
salvation.’ She kept doing this for many days. But Paul, very much annoyed, turned and said to the
spirit, ‘I order you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.’ And it came out that very hour.
But when her owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and
dragged them into the market-place before the authorities. When they had brought them before the
magistrates, they said, ‘These men are disturbing our city; they are Jews and are advocating customs
that are not lawful for us as Romans to adopt or observe.’ The crowd joined in attacking them, and the
magistrates had them stripped of their clothing and ordered them to be beaten with rods. After they
had given them a severe flogging, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to keep them
securely. Following these instructions, he put them in the innermost cell and fastened their feet in the
stocks.
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were
listening to them. Suddenly there was an earthquake, so violent that the foundations of the prison
were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were unfastened.
When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors wide open, he drew his sword and was about to kill
himself, since he supposed that the prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted in a loud voice, ‘Do not
harm yourself, for we are all here.’ The jailer called for lights, and rushing in, he fell down trembling
before Paul and Silas. Then he brought them outside and said, ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’
They answered, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.’
They spoke the word of the Lord[c] to him and to all who were in his house. At the same hour of the
night he took them and washed their wounds; then he and his entire family were baptized without
delay. He brought them up into the house and set food before them; and he and his entire household
rejoiced that he had become a believer in God.
John 17: 20-end
‘I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word,
that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that
the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given them,
so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become completely
one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved
me. Father, I desire that those also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my
glory, which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.
‘Righteous Father, the world does not know you, but I know you; and these know that you have sent
me. I made your name known to them, and I will make it known, so that the love with which you have
loved me may be in them, and I in them.’
Post Communion Prayer
giver of love and power,Eternal God, your Son Jesus Christ has sent us into all the world to preach
the gospel of his kingdom: confirm us in this mission, and help us to live the good news we proclaim;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen
