Collect
Eternal God,
through Christ’s obedience
you glorified our human nature;
give us such a passion for truth and justice
that, like your servant Frederick Denison Maurice,
we may work and pray for the kingdom of your Christ,
to the glory of your holy name.
Amen.
Prayer
Our Father,
your Kingdom come
on earth as in heaven.
Ruler of the everlasting kingdom,
prince of peace, champion of the despised:
you are the king;
you make a cross your throne;
you wear a crown of thorns;
you call your subjects friends.
Help us to take up our cross,
to hunger and thirst for all that is good;
then will your kingdom come on earth as in heaven.
Amen.
