Propers for the 5th Sunday of Lent, 22nd March 2026

Entrance Antiphon 
Give me justice, O God, 
and plead my cause against a nation that is faithless. 
From the deceitful and cunning rescue me, 
for you, O God, are my strength. 

The Collect 
By your help, we beseech you, Lord our God, 
may we walk eagerly in that same charity with which,  
out of love for the world, 
your Son handed himself over to death. 
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, 
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, 
God, for ever and ever. 
Amen. 

The Readings 
Ezekiel 37:12-14 
Psalm 130:1-8 
Romans 8:8-11  
John 11:1-45 

Prayer after Communion  
We pray, almighty God, 
that we may always be counted among the members of Christ, 
in whose Body and Blood we have communion. 
Who lives and reigns for ever and ever. 
Amen.
