Across the world, Covid-19 has brought much sadness to many.
We remember before God
those who have died
and we pray that God’s love will surround all who mourn them, now and always
Gracious God,
as we remember before you the thousands who have died,
surround us and all who mourn with your strong compassion.
Be gentle with us in our grief,
protect us from despair,
and give us grace to persevere
and face the future with hope
in Jesus Christ our risen Lord.
Amen.

Eastertide

The Season of Easter
The Great Fifty Days of Eastertide form a single festival period in which the
tone of joy created at the Easter Vigil is sustained through the following seven
weeks, and the Church celebrates the gloriously risen Christ:
Triumphant in his glory now,
his sceptre ruleth all,
earth, heaven and hell before him bow,
and at his footstool fall. (Fulbert of Chartres)
Early Christians gave the name Pentecost to this whole fifty-day span of
rejoicing, which Tertullian calls ‘this most joyful period’ (laetissimum spatium).
It is sometimes also called ‘Great Sunday’. In those places where the custom
of lighting the Easter Candle at the beginning of Easter is followed, the lit
Candle stands prominently in church for all the Eastertide services. The
Alleluia appears frequently in liturgical speech and song; Morning Prayer
begins with the traditional collection of Pauline texts known as the Easter
Anthems, and white or gold vestments and decorations emphasize the joy
and brightness of the season.
On the fortieth day there has from the late fourth century been a particular
celebration of Christ’s ascension. He commissions his disciples to continue
his work, he promises the gift of the Holy Spirit, and then he is no longer
among them in the flesh. The ascension is therefore closely connected with
the theme of mission. The arrival of the promised gift of the Holy Spirit on
the day of Pentecost completes and crowns the Easter Festival.
Christ our passover lamb has been sacrificed for us.
Let us therefore rejoice by putting away all malice and evil.
cf 1 Corinthians 5.7,8
Spiritual Communion
The Prayer Book instructs us that if we offer ourselves in penitence and faith, giving thanks for the redemption won by Christ crucified, we may truly ‘eat and drink the Body and Blood of our Saviour Christ’, although we may be unable receive the sacrament physically in ourselves at this time. For as the benefit is great, if with a true penitent heart and lively faith we receive that holy Sacrament; (for then we spiritually eat the flesh of Christ, and drink his blood; then we dwell in Christ, and Christ in us; we are one with Christ, and Christ with us;) From the Third Exhortation in the BCP. Making a Spiritual Communion is especially fitting when we cannot receive the sacrament at the great feasts of the Church, and it fulfils the duty of receiving Holy Communion ‘regularly, and especially at the festivals of Christmas, Easter and Whit Sunday.’ (Canon B 15 of the Church of England).

The Watch
In the later part of the evening, try to spend an hour in silent prayer – Be with Jesus at Gethsemane.
This is what the Rector will be reading in silence and near darkness in the Rectory from 9pm to midnight. You too could ‘take watch’ and do the same, perhaps for an hour.
The following readings may be used. Silences, introduced by biddings, may follow the readings.
John 13.16-30
Psalm 113
John 13.31-end
Psalm 114
John 14.1-14
Psalm 115
John 14.15-end
Psalm 116.1-9
John 15.1-17
Psalm 116.10-end
John 15.18–16.4a
Psalm 117
John 16.4b-15
Psalm 118.1-9
John 16.16-end
Psalm 118.10-18
John 17.1-19
Psalm 118.19-end
John 17.20-end
Then may follow Psalm 54 and the Gospel of the Watch, or the Gospel of the Watch is read
without ceremony, followed by silence.
Refrain: Behold, God is my helper.
1Save me, O God, by your name *
and vindicate me by your power.
2Hear my prayer, O God; *
give heed to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers have risen up against me,
and the ruthless seek after my life; *
they have not set God before them.
4Behold, God is my helper; *
it is the Lord who upholds my life. R
5May evil rebound on those who lie in wait for me; *
destroy them in your faithfulness.
6An offering of a free heart will I give you *
and praise your name, O Lord, for it is gracious.
7For he has delivered me out of all my trouble, *
and my eye has seen the downfall of my enemies.
Refrain: Behold, God is my helper.
O living God,
reach through the violence of the proud
and the despair of the weak
to create in Jesus Christ
a people free to praise your holy name,
now and for ever.

Be Still and know that I am God.
The God of Hosts is with us.
Keep us, good Lord,
under the shadow of your mercy
in this time of uncertainty and distress.
Sustain and support the anxious and fearful,
and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may rejoice in your comfort
knowing that nothing can separate us
from your love in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Amen.

**A NATIONAL CALL TO PRAYER**
Light a Candle of Hope
A call to nationwide prayer for the Coronavirus pandemic
National Day of Prayer and Action was announced by the presidents of Churches Together in England, about the Coronavirus epidemic on Sunday 22nd March.
At such a time as this, when so many are fearful and there is great uncertainty, we are reminded of our dependence on our loving Heavenly Father and the future that he holds.
Therefore, at dusk on each Sunday of the pandemic, I invite you to light a candle in a window of your homes as a visible symbol of the light of life, Jesus Christ, our source and hope in prayer.
Please do this safely and away from any flammable material. Safer battery-powered candles with realistic light but no live flame are also a safe option.
Wherever you are in the world, we invite you to join with us in prayer to see an end to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Please pray for:
- all those who are ill
- those who are isolated
- those who work in the health & social care sectors
- those who are researching Corvid19
- those who bring and co-ordinate relief and
- those who make policy.

Poet, Academic, Priest: Malcolm Guite’s Blog
A Sonnet For The Unseen
(Malcolm Guite from his blog – see above)
So much goes unseen and stays unsaid,
So much that carers keep within their hearts;
The children who get parents out of bed,
Already tired before their school day starts,
The neighbours who keep giving up their time,
To add a daily round of extra care,
Veronicas who cleanse the sweat and grime,
And those whose gift is simply being there,
The patient partners lifting up a cross
To bear the burden their belovèd bears,
Who ease each other through the pain and loss
And feel that no one sees, and no one cares.
But there is One to hear, to feel, to see
And He will say ‘ye did it unto me’.
This sonnet can be found on Malcolm Guite’s blog,
where seasonal collects, such as those for Holy Week and Easter are all drawn from the collection Sounding the Seasons, published by Canterbury Press .
A prayer at bedtime
Before the ending of the day,
Creator of the world, we pray
That you, with steadfast love, would keep
Your watch around us while we sleep.
Tonight we pray especially for our family, friends and community, and
for all the regions of the world, including our own,
which are affected by Coronavirus.
Please give skill and wisdom to all who are caring for them.
Amen.
