Almighty God, purify our hearts and minds, that when your Son Jesus Christ comes as judge and saviour we may be ready to receive him, who is our Lord our God. Amen

Almighty God, as your kingdom dawns, turn us from the darkness of sin to the
light of holiness, that we may be ready to meet you in our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Amen

God the Father,
help us to hear the call of Christ the King
and to follow in his service,
whose kingdom has no end;
for he reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, one glory.
Amen

Heavenly Lord,
you long for the world’s salvation:
stir us from apathy,
restrain us from excess
and revive in us new hope
that all creation will one day be healed
in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

God, our refuge and strength,
bring near the day when wars shall cease
and poverty and pain shall end,
that earth may know the peace of heaven
though Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

God of glory,
touch our lips with the fire of your spirit,
that we with all creation
may rejoice to sing your praise;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Merciful God, teach us to be faithful in change and uncertainty that trusting in your word and obeying your will we may enter the unfailing joy of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Almighty God, in those service lies perfect freedom: teach us to obey you with loving hearts and steadfast wills: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

God, our light and our salvation: illuminate our lives, that we may see your goodness in the land of the living, and looking on your beauty may be changed into the likeness of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Faithful Lord, whose steadfast love never ceases and whose mercies never come to an end: grant us the grace to trust you and to receive the gifts of your love, new every morning, in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
