Let your continual mercy, O Lord, cleanse and defend your Church; and, because it cannot continue in safety without your help, protect and govern it always by your goodness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen. (ACNA Book of Common Prayer 2019, Sunday Collect, Proper 16)

O God, draw your Church to gaze upon your holiness and majesty, so that it may worship you with humble and awe-struck hearts. Help your Church to lean into your loving embrace and depend upon you for all its needs. May your Church walk in your ways as people of light, life and love declaring your utmost and glorious redemption through Jesus Christ. Fill your Church, O Lord, with hope and desire as it awaits your return and the final consummation of all things. Come, Lord Jesus! Amen. (My Prayer)
