Preface for Sundays in Ordinary Time VI: [The Pledge of an Eternal Easter]
Father, all-powerful and ever-living God,
we do well always and everywhere to give you thanks.
In you we live and move and have our being.
Each day you show us a Father's love;
your Holy Spirit, dwelling within us,
gives us on earth the hope of unending joy.
Your gift of the Spirit
who raised Jesus from the dead,
is the foretaste and promise
of the paschal feast of heaven.
With thankful praise,
in company with the angels
we glorify the wonders of your power:
Holy, holy, holy Lord...

Taste and see the goodness of the Lord; blessed is he who hopes in God. (Psalm 34:9)

Lord,
may we never fail to praise you
for the fullness of life and salvation

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
