Palm Sunday Collect (Redub)


Ever loving God,
your desire for the whole creation
was fully expressed in Jesus your son,
living and dying among us.
Help us learn of you and your
passion for the earth,
that we may imitate the same pattern.
May we enter into the mystery of resurrection.
Let us see your just rule in unexpected places.
Amen.

The Gunning Fog readability index suggests 8.46 years of formal education is required to understand this prayer on a first reading, the Common Worship prayer requires 35.5 years.

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

My five Palm Sunday Collects and Post Communions are 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.
