Today | Pentecost 13 | Proper 17

Collect for the Day

Grant, O merciful God, that your Church, being gathered together in unity by your Holy Spirit, may show forth your power among all peoples, to the glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

For Mission

Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the cross that everyone might come within the reach of your saving embrace: So clothe us in your Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love, may bring those who do not know you to the knowledge and love of you; for the honor of your Name. Amen.

I Said a Prayer For You Today

I said a prayer for you today

And know God must have heard-

I felt the answer in my heart

Although God spoke no word.

I didn’t ask for wealth or fame,

I know you won’t mind,

I asked God to send treasures

Of a far more lasting kind.

I asked that the Lord be near you

At the start of each new day,

To grant you health and blessings

And friends to share the Way;

I asked for happiness for you

In all things great and small

But it was for God’s loving care

I prayed the most of all.

Amen
