Collect
Almighty God,
we remember today your servant Barnabas,
whose great joy was to proclaim your love;
grant us also the gift of your Holy Spirit,
to bring others to know your goodness,
to encourage the faint-hearted
and to minister to those in need;
in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Prayer
Our Father,
your will be done
on earth as in heaven.
Almighty and everlasting God,
we thank you that you have brought us safely
to the beginning of this day;
keep us from falling into sin or running into danger,
and guide us to do always what is right in your eyes.
Amen.
The Blessing
The Lord bless us,
and preserve us from all evil,
and keep us in eternal life.
Amen.
