Today’s Collect Children’s prayer
Risen Christ, for whom no door is locked, no entrance barred: open the doors of our hearts, that we may seek the good of others and walk the joyful road of sacrifice and peace, to the praise of God the Father.
Thank you for this time of Easter. Thank you God that you help our world. Thank you God that you help us. Thank you for caring about the things we care about. Amen.
