Collect
God of the farthest reaches of the earth,
where there is darkness you shed light,
where there is oppression, grace;
we praise you for your servant Ninian,
pioneer of the gospel
among his own people in the British Isles;
kindle in us a gospel fire
to carry your light and grace
to every part of our land;
through Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Amen.
Prayer
Our Father,
your kingdom come
on earth as in heaven.
God our life,
be with us through this day,
whether or not it brings us joy.
Help us when evening comes to recall one benefit,
for which to give you thanks.
Amen.
