Today | Collect of the Day:  Proper 4

O God, your never-failing providence sets in order all things both in heaven and earth: Put away from us, we entreat you, all hurtful things, and give us those things which are profitable for us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, 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 the day,

we may, when night comes,

rejoice to give you thanks;

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
