Date: 25th June 2017
Second Sunday after Trinity
Collect for the day:
Lord, you have taught us that all our doings without love are nothing worth: send your Holy Spirit and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of love, the true bond of peace and of all virtues, without which whoever lives is counted dead before you. Grant this for your only Son Jesus Christ’s sake, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
Response to Psalm: You, O Lord, are gracious and full of compassion.
