Collect for the Fifth Sunday of Easter
(28 April)
Almighty God,
who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ
have overcome death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life:
grant that, as by your grace going before us
you put into our minds good desires,
so by your continual help
we may bring them to good effect;
through Jesus Christ our risen Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

Prayer
Almighty and eternal God, merciful Father,
You gave Your Son for our sins,
and raised him up again for our righteousness.
Through him You have overcome death
and have opened up for us the way to eternal life.
Through Your Holy Spirit,
grant that we may rely on this in true faith,
that our bodies also will arise with Christ to eternal life,
and that by remembering this comfort
we may endure all kinds of sorrow in this life
with patience through the power of the resurrection of Your Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ,
who with You and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, forever and ever.

(Martin Luther)
