The Third Sunday of Easter

Divine Service One

 

A crooked generation instinctively clings to wealth and riches, grasps human logic, and understands ordinary fact.  The baptized fervently cling to forgiveness and grace in Christ, believe divine mysteries, and confess Christ crucified.  Jesus’ death was necessary that we would know imperishable life.  Without His death, the breaking of the bread would be empty ritual.  But in the Eucharist, we receive the broken bread and body of Christ that sustains extraordinary faith and enables us to confess divine truths.   

 

 

O God, through the humiliation of Your Son You raised up the fallen world. Grant to Your faithful people, rescued from the peril of everlasting death, perpetual gladness and eternal joys; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
