Prayers for this week
Collect for Day of Pentecost
Almighty and everlasting God,
you have given us your servants grace,
by the confession of a true faith,
to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity
and in the power of the divine majesty to worship the Unity:
keep us steadfast in this faith,
that we may evermore be defended from all adversities;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen

Monday – Collect set for 31st May – the visit of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Elizabeth
Mighty God,
by whose grace Elizabeth rejoiced with Mary
and greeted her as the mother of the Lord:

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen
Tuesday – Collect set for 1st June – Justin
God our redeemer,
who through the folly of the cross taught your martyr Justin

and make your name known to all peoples;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
Wednesday – A prayer for the sovereign
Almighty God, the fountain of all goodness,

in wisdom and equity, righteousness and peace,

and the good of your Church and people;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
Thursday – Collect set for 3rd June – Corpus Christi
Lord Jesus Christ,
we thank you that in this wonderful sacrament
you have given us the memorial of your passion:
grant us so to reverence the sacred mysteries
of your body and blood
that we may know within ourselves
and show forth in our lives
the fruits of your redemption;
for you are alive and reign with the Father
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen
Friday – A prayer for Bishops and Pastors
Almighty and everlasting God,
the only worker of great marvels,
send down upon our bishops and other pastors
and all congregations committed to their care
the spirit of your saving grace;
and that they may truly please you,
pour upon them the continual dew of your blessing.
Grant this, O Lord,
for the honour of our advocate and mediator, Jesus Christ.
Saturday – Collect set for 5th June – Boniface (Wynfrith) of Crediton
God our redeemer,
who called your servant Boniface
to preach the gospel among the German people
and to build up your Church in holiness:
grant that we may preserve in our hearts
that faith which he taught with his words
and sealed with his blood,
and profess it in lives dedicated to your Son
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
Prayer for May
God our Father, you never cease the work you have begun and
prosper with your blessing all human labour: make us wise and faithful stewards of your gifts that we may serve the common good, maintain the fabric of our world and seek that justice where all may share the good things you pour upon us; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
