Lent - Year B (Mark)

Collect for the Day:

Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and

forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in us new

and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and

acknowledging our wretchedness may obtain of you, the God of all mercy,

perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord,

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,

forever and ever. Amen.

For Mission

O God and Father of all, whom the whole heavens adore:

Let the whole earth also worship you, all nations obey you, all tongues
confess and bless you, and men and women everywhere love you and
serve you in peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A Collect for Guidance

Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being:

We humbly pray you so to guide and govern us by your Holy Spirit,

that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget you,

but may remember that we are ever walking in your sight;

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
