Fr. David Curry has collected his eleven Holy Week and Easter homilies, based on the Scripture text “One thing is needful”, into a single pdf document. Click here to download “One thing is needful”. These homilies were originally delivered and posted earlier this week on Palm Sunday through Easter Day.
The collect for today, Monday in Easter Week, from The Book of Common Prayer (Canadian, 1962):
ALMIGHTY God, who through thine only begotten Son Jesus Christ hast overcome death, and opened unto us the gate of everlasting life: We humbly beseech thee, that as by thy special grace thou dost put into our minds good desires, so by thy continual help we may bring the same to good effect; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
The Lesson: Acts 10:34-43
The Gospel: St. Luke 24:13-35
