Today | Collect of the Day | Second Sunday in Lent
God, whose glory it is always to have mercy: Be gracious to all who have gone astray from your ways, and bring them again with penitent hearts and steadfast faith to embrace and hold fast the unchangeable truth of your Word, Jesus Christ your Son; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

For Mission

Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people is governed and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers which we offer before you for all members of your holy Church, that in their vocation and ministry they may truly and devoutly serve you; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

A Collect for the Renewal of Life

O God, the King eternal,

who divides the day from the night

and turns the shadow of death into the morning:

Drive far from us all wrong desires,

incline our hearts to keep your law,

and guide our feet into the way of peace;

that, having done your will with cheerfulness while it was day,

we may, when night comes,

rejoice to give you thanks;

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
