Morning Collect

Almighty and everlasting God,

by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people

is governed and sanctified:

Receive our supplications and prayers,

which we offer before you

for all members of your holy Church,

that in their vocation and ministry

they may truly and devoutly serve you;

through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,

who lives and reigns with you,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever.

Amen.

(BCP 256)
