O Lord, we beseech thee,
absolve thy people from their offences;
that through thy bountiful goodness
we may all be delivered from the bonds of those sins,
which by our frailty we have committed;
Grant this, O heavenly Father, for Jesus Christ's sake,
our blessed Lord and Saviour.
Collect Two
Almighty Father,
whose will is to restore all things
in your beloved Son, the king of all:
Govern the hearts and minds of those in authority,
and bring the families of the nations,
divided and torn apart by the ravages of sin,
to be subject to his just and gentle rule;
who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
God of peace,
whose Son Jesus Christ proclaimed the kingdom
and restored the broken to wholeness of life:
Look with compassion on the anguish of the world,
and by your healing power
make whole both people and nations;
through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Collect Of The Word
O God,
our eternal redeemer,
by the presence of your Spirit
you renew and direct our hearts.
Keep always in our mind
the end of all things
and the day of judgement.
Inspire us for a holy life here,
and bring us the joy of the resurrection,
through Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord.
