Collect and Post-communion Prayer
Almighty God,
whose Son restored Mary Magdalene
to health of mind and body
and called her to be a witness to his resurrection:
forgive our sins and heal us by your grace,
that we may serve you in the power of his risen life;
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
God of life and love, whose
risen Son called Mary
Magdalene by name and sent
her to tell of his resurrection
to his apostles: in your mercy,
help us, who have been
united with him in this
eucharist, to proclaim the
good news that he is alive
and reigns, now and for ever.
Amen.

A prayer to be used in preparation for ‘Turning
our Vision into Reality’ on 16 September:
Almighty God,
we long to share the love of Christ,
the light of the World,
with the people of Ewell;
shape our vision for St Mary's
and help us to turn that vision into reality,
that your will may be done,
on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.

Eucharistic Prayer: E with extended preface
It is indeed right and good, our duty and our salvation, to praise you, the all-powerful Father,
in every season, and on this holy day to celebrate the glory of your saints. In Mary
Magdalene you kindled a fire of love for Christ whose word had set her free. You gave her
the courage of love to follow him even to the cross. Seeking her teacher after his death, so
great was her longing that you made her the first to behold him risen from the dead, and the
first to announce to the apostles his new and glorious risen life. Her words still ring
throughout your Church, to strengthen faith and encourage hope in those who gather
faithfully for prayer. And so with her, and all the citizens of heaven, we join our voices to
acclaim your glory in this their joyful hymn of praise:
Anthem: Here, O my Lord – Whitlock
