Opening Prayers for the Second Sunday of Easter Year C (April 27 2025)
These opening prayers for Sunday worship take their inspiration from the Scripture readings of the Revised Common Lectionary. Worship leaders are welcome to use them for worship, but if you print or display any part of them, please credit the author. Comments welcome. The following prayers are for based on the readings for Easter 2C, April 27, 2025. NB The Psalm used is Psalm 150.
The congregation say the words in bold italics.
Call to Worship
Praise God in his sanctuary!
Let everything that breathes praise the Lord!Psalm 150:1,6
Let us worship God.
Prayer of Approach and Confession
Let us pray.
God of life,
the source of all that is,
you are the Alpha and Omega,
the first and last of creation and eternity
the one who is, and was, and is to come
almighty beyond our imagining.Yet you have sent Jesus Christ,
to bring us salvation.
In his resurrected body
his wounds remind us
of the costliness of Christ’s love
for each of us and all creation.And now he has defeated death
freed us from sin
and made possible a new world-
your Kingdom of love and justice.
You have exalted him over all things-
to him be glory for ever and ever!To your people
you promise the gift of the Holy Spirit
to strengthen our faith
to sustain us in our doubts
and to help us be
the disciples of Christ in the world.Eternal God,
our Creator, Saviour and Sustainer,
we praise and worship you.We confess, God of grace,
that we need the strength your Spirit brings.
We fail to be attentive
to the risen Christ’s presence among us.
We find his command to forgive those who sin against us
hard to put into practice.
We want certainty, when Christ asks for faith;
we demand to see what must remain mystery.
Forgive us, and by your Spirit,
strengthen our faith.silence
By his death and resurrection
Christ has made possible the forgiveness of sins.
So receive the Holy Spirit,
and know that Christ is among us. Amen.Sharing the Peace
When the Christ stood among the fearful disciples
he said, ‘Peace be with you’.
Christ is among us now
and so let us share the peace of Christ
with each other,
greeting one another with the words
‘Peace be with you’.The congregation share the peace, saying
Peace be with you.

Explore the story of Thomas from John 20:19-31 with our youth lesson plan. Discover how doubt is part of faith, and see how Jesus met Thomas with patience and love. Start with a fun "True or False?" game to spark discussions on belief and doubt. Remember, doubt doesn't push God away; it draws Him closer. Be honest with God and watch your faith grow, just like Thomas became a strong witness. #FaithJourney #YouthMinistry #BeliefAndDoubt #John20 #DoubtingThomas https://young-catholics.com/8360/visible-invisible-lesson-plan-believing/

It's maddening the last 3 lifetime appointments to #SCOTUS, each with peculiar circumstances surrounding their backgrounds (a drunk, a gadfly and an handmaid walk into a bar), *and* their politics, were put on the bench by a twice-impeached, 4-times indicted (and counting) POTUS, a Chair/Ranking democrat with advanced dementia, and a republican Senate Majority/minority Leader who can't reliably talk or stand up. Are you kidding me? Seriously?
