Collect of the Day: Proper 7

O Lord, make us have perpetual love and reverence for your holy Name, for you never fail to help and govern those whom you have set upon the sure foundation of your loving-kindness; 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.

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.
