Principal Service

Collect One

Grant, O merciful God,
that your people may have that mind
that was in Christ Jesus,
who emptied himself,
and took the form of a servant,
and in humility became obedient even to death.
For you have exalted him
and bestowed on him a name
that is above every name,
Jesus Christ, the Lord;
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

Collect Two

Almighty and everlasting God:
Increase in us your gift of faith
that, forsaking what lies behind,
we may run the way of your commandments
and win the crown of everlasting joy;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
