As we continue our time through the season after Pentecost, we are reminded that much of the Christian life is lived in ordinary days. It is in these daily moments that Christ calls us to remain faithful: to pray, to love our neighbors, to study His Word, and to gather with His Church.
A collect for inner renewal through the word (BCP 2019, p. 667)
Gracious God and most merciful Father, you have granted us the rich and precious jewel of your holy Word: Assist us with your Spirit, that the same Word may be written in our hearts to our everlasting comfort, to reform us, to renew us according to your own image, to build us up and edify us into the perfect dwelling place of your Christ, sanctifying and increasing in us all heavenly virtues; grant this, O heavenly Father, for Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen.
