Almighty and everlasting God, you have given us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity and in the power of the divine majesty to worship the Unity: keep us steadfast in this faith, that we may evermore be defended from all adversities; 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 forever.

God, who as at this time taught the hearts of your faithful people by sending to them the light of the Holy Spirit: grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgement in all things and evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Saviour, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Acts 2:1-21
1 Corinthians 12:3b-13

The collect and readings for today
Merciful Lord, cast your bright beams of light upon the Church: that, being enlightened by the teachings of your blessed apostle and evangelist St John, we may so walk in the light of your truth that we may at last attain to the light of everlasting life; through Jesus Christ your incarnate Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Exodus 33:7-11a
1 John 1:1-10

For our prayers
The collect and readings for Sunday 10 May
(Rogation Sunday)
God our redeemer, you have delivered us from the power of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of your Son: grant, that as by his death he has recalled us to life, so by his continual presence in us, he may raise us to eternal joy; 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 forever.

Acts 17:22-31
1 Peter 13-22
John 14: 15-21

Father, we come before You with open hearts, ready to receive Your grace. Let Your favour rest on our homes, ministries and communities. Give us fresh ideas, open doors and and new opportunities. Bring breakthrough where it is needed, joy where it is lacking, and favour that draws the right people and resources into our lives. Amen
(MU daily prayer)
