Father, graciously hear the prayers of your people, and grant that we who are justly afflicted for our sins, may be mercifully delivered for the glory of your name. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Father, you know that we cannot place our trust in anything that we do. Mercifully grant that we, through your power, may be cleansed of our sins and defended against all adversities. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Father, you have taught us that whatever we do without love is worthless. Send forth your Holy Spirit to pour into our hearts the most excellent gift of love, the true bond of peace and of all virtues, without which we are counted as dead in your sight. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
This Collect is used daily until the First Day of Lent.
