Collect One

and lead us toward all that gives life and salvation,
through Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord.

Collect Two

God,
who in generous mercy sent the Holy Spirit
upon your Church in the burning fire of your love:

in the fellowship of the gospel;

they may be found steadfast in faith and active in service;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
