Sunday

		From sunrise to sunset this day is holy, for Christ has risen from the tomb
		and scattered the darkness of death
		with light that will not fade.
		This day the risen Lord walks with your gathered people,
		unfolds for us your word,
		and makes himself known in the breaking of the bread.
		And though the night will overtake this day
		you summon us to live in endless light,
		the never-ceasing sabbath of the Lord.   (Preface for a Sunday in Ordinary Time, Holy Communion, Common Worship)
