Tue: Pray for deliverance against temptation; the addicted and despairing; the tortured and oppressed; and those struggling with besetting sins.
Wed: Pray for marriage and family; living together under the grace of Christ according to the Word of God; those adults who must rear their children alone; and godly schools, especially for Trinity-St. Paul and Metro East Lutheran High School, all the schools of our Church and our seminaries.
Thu: Pray for the Church and her pastors; for missionaries; fruitful and salutary use of the Blessed Sacrament of the Lord's Body and Blood.
Fri: Pray for the preaching of the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; its spread throughout the whole world and our community; for the persecuted.

Collect of the Day:
Almighty God, grant that we who have celebrated the Lord's resurrection may by Your grace confess in our life and conversation that Jesus is Lord and God; through the same Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
