I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe, –that unless I believed, I should not understand.-- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

A Prayer for the Third Sunday of Easter

Father in heaven, author of all truth, a people once in darkness has listened to your Word and followed your Son as he rose from the tomb. Hear the prayer of this newborn people and strengthen your Church to answer your call. May we rise and come forth into the light of day to stand in your presence until eternity dawns. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

I heard this prayer at mass this morning and was so touched by it that I googled it and arrived at your blog. Was this prayer also said at your UMC service this morning? I've heard of the Revised Common Lectionary but I just didn't really believe it was all that common!
