Collect One

Saving God,
in Jesus Christ you opened for us
a new and living way into your presence:

to worship you in spirit and in truth;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

Collect Two

Merciful God,
you have prepared for those who love you

Pour into our hearts such love toward you

may obtain your promises,
which exceed all that we can desire;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
