Prayers and Intercessions
Collect
Almighty God, you have built your Church upon the foundation of the
apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone:
Grant us so to be joined together in unity of spirit by their teaching, that
we may be made a holy temple acceptable to you; through Jesus Christ
our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
forever and ever. Amen.
For a Clear Voice
Please God, now we need a voice, a clear voice, one that speaks
in truth and common sense, not shouting, not evading, but telling
us, all of us, no matter what our opinions, telling us how to find
our way back, how to return to what is the best of us, speaking in
compassion, speaking with the invitation, but clear, determined, hopeful,
a voice we can trust, that we can believe in, because it does not take
sides, but stands in the center, at the heart, where our shared
hope first began, where all people may gather, please God, we need
that voice and we need it now.
(Steven Charleston, Daily Office, Mission St. Clare Facebook Page)
For Peace Among Nations
Almighty God our heavenly Father,
guide the nations of the world  
into the way of justice and truth,
and establish among them that peace
which is the fruit of righteousness,
that they may become the kingdom
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
Glory to God whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than
we can ask or imagine: Glory to him from generation to generation in
the Church, and in Christ Jesus for ever and ever. Amen.     
Ephesians 3:20,21
