Second Sunday of Easter, Collect (Redub)

God you are our eternal parent.

By emptying yourself, as a human

you showed solidarity with us.

By rising from death there is cause

for us to have faith in your love for all things.

Help us throw off all that holds us back

from becoming faithful servants in your creation.

Amen.

The Gunning Fog readability index suggests 7.54 years of formal education is required to understand this prayer on a first reading, the Common Worship prayer requires 32.84 years.

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

My five Second Sunday of Easter Collects and Post Communions are here.

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.
