The Solemn Collects - BCP 277-280 Celebrant: Dear People of God: Our heavenly Father sent his Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved; that all who believe in him might be delivered from the power of sin and death, and become heirs with him of everlasting life. We pray, therefore, for people everywhere according to their needs.
Let us pray for the holy catholic church of Christ throughout the world;
For its unity in witness and service For Sean, our Presiding Bishop, for Andy, our Bishop, and all the people of this diocese For all bishops and other ministers and the people whom they serve For all Christians in this community
That God will confirm his Church in faith, increase it in love, and preserve it in peace.
Silence
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. Amen.
Let us pray for all nations and peoples of the earth, and for those in authority among them;
For Dondald, the President of the United States For the Congress and the Supreme Court For the Members and Representatives of the United Nations
For Gregory, the Governor of Texas For Ronald, the Mayor of Prairie View For all who serve the common good
That by God’s help they may seek justice and truth and live in peace and concord .
Silence
Almighty God, kindle, we pray, in every heart the true love of peace, and guide with your wisdom those who take counsel for the nations of the earth; that in tranquility your dominion may increase, until the earth is filled with the knowledge of your love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Let us pray for all who suffer and are afflicted in body or in mind; For the hungry and the homeless, the destitute and the oppressed
For the sick, the wounded, and the crippled For those in loneliness, fear, and anguish For those who face temptation, doubt, and despair
