THE COLLECT

Lord of all power and might,
the author and giver of all good things:
graft in our hearts the love of your name,
increase in us true religion,
nourish us with all goodness,
and of your great mercy keep us in the same;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen


THE READINGS

New Testament: Ephesians 3:14-21
Gospel: John 6:1-21


POST COMMUNION PRAYER

Lord God, whose Son is the true vine
and the source of life,
ever giving himself that the world may live:
may we so receive within ourselves
the power of his death and passion
that, in his saving cup, we may share his glory
and be made perfect in his love:
for he is alive and reigns, now and for ever.
Amen


To think about this week:

Prepare and prevent instead of repair and repent.
