Second Sunday after Easter
ALMIGHTY God, who hast given thine only Son to be unto us both a sacrifice for sin and also an example of godly life: give us grace that we may always most thankfully receive his inestimable benefit, and also daily endeavor ourselves to follow the steps of his most holy life; through the same Jesus Christ thy Son, our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
Epistle: 1 St. Peter 2:19-25
Gospel: St. John 10:11-16
