Easter Collect

I love liturgy. I mean, I absolutely love liturgy. I think it’s just one of the most amazing things ever. For example, check out this collect from the Book of Common Prayer:

O God, who for our redemption didst give Thine only-begotten Son to the death of the cross, and by His glorious resurrection hast delivered us from the power of our enemy: Grant us so to die daily to sin, that we may evermore live with Him in the joy of His resurrection; through the same Thy Son Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

That’s the Easter Day collect, but it’s one I would do well to pray daily. To remember that I have been redeemed. To remember that I have been delivered from the power of the enemy. To remember to die daily to sin. But most of all, to remember to rejoice in the resurrection.
