Prayers and Intercessions
Collect
O God, you have taught us to keep all your commandments by
loving you and our neighbor: Grant us the grace of your Holy Spirit,
that we may be devoted to you with our whole heart, and united to
one another with pure affection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who
lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
forever and ever. Amen. (Proper 9, Year B)

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.

For All Sorts and Conditions

O God, the creator and preserver of all, we humbly beseech you for
all sorts and conditions of people; that you would be pleased to make
your ways known unto them, your saving health unto all nations. More
especially we pray for your holy Church universal; that it may be so
guided and governed by your good Spirit, that all who profess and call
themselves Christians may be led into the way of truth, and hold the
faith in unity of spirit, in the bond of peace, and in righteousness of
life. Finally, we commend to your fatherly goodness all those who are
in any ways afflicted or distressed, in mind, body, or estate; that it
may please you to comfort and relieve them according to their several
necessities, giving them patience under their sufferings, and a happy
issue out of all their afflictions. And this we beg for Jesus Christ's sake.
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 forever and ever. Amen.     
Ephesians 3:20,21
