April17, 2017—Easter Monday
HAPPY EASTER
One of the Intercessions from Morning Prayer today is: Lord, as we begin this week of service, sustain
us in the JOY of Easter. (What a good
thing to pray for and to live each day.)
And another intercession is: “Bless all agricultural workers and
farmers, especially family farmers, and bless the soil as it accepts the gift
of new seed in this hopeful springtime”…
Another very good thing to pray for.
