Sunday next before Lent, Collect (Redub)


God, you love the world.
Your rule of peace was revealed
in Jesus, before he suffered and
died by the rule of law.
Help us see how much stronger
your love is than death.
Strengthen us so we may
serve you in this world,
even when love may mean that we suffer.
Amen.

The Gunning Fog readability index suggests 5.2 years of formal education is required to understand this prayer on a first reading, the Common Worship prayer requires 27.02 years.

Here's the information on how this prayer is a redub.

The Sunday next before Lent Collection of 5 prayers is here.

You can also look at the full Index of Prayers.

The project runs from Advent 2012 to Advent 2013.

If you want to use the prayers, an acknowledgement of myself as author and, if there's space, the link to my blog would be much appreciated.
