Today | Collect of the Day:  Sunday of the Holy Trinity

Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of your divine Majesty to worship the Unity: Keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last to see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son and the Holy Spirit live and reign, 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.

For the Conservation of Natural Resources

Almighty God, in giving us

dominion over things on earth,

you made us fellow workers in your creation:

Give us wisdom and reverence

so to use the resources of nature,

that no one may suffer from our abuse of them,

and that generations yet to come

may continue to praise you for your bounty;

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
