O God the King of glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph to your kingdom in heaven: we beseech you, leave us not comfortless, but send your Holy Spirit to strengthen us and exalt us to the place where our Saviour Christ is gone before, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Reading: Acts 16:16-34
Paul and Silas heal a slave girl who has been making money for her powerful owner because of her spirit of divination. The owner has them imprisoned, but in an earthquake the prison doors fly open and all the prisoners’ chains are unfastened. They remain in prison and the jailer asks what he must do to be saved.
