Staying Connected to the Word Through the Week
Below is a collection of prayers and readings to guide you in your prayer and devotional life through the next week. If you don’t have a regular devotional routine, consider this. Open with the invocation (In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit) followed by praying the collect, reading the daily Scripture readings, reading the weekly portion from the small catechism, reciting the 10 commandments, the Apostles’ Creed, and the Lord’s Prayer, then ending with either Luther’s morning prayer or Luther’s evening prayer.
Collect for the Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity:
O Lord, keep Your Church with Your perpetual mercy; and because of our frailty we cannot but fall, keep us ever by Your help from all things hurtful and lead us to all things profitable to our salvation; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
