Collect
Gracious and eternal God,
you called Gregory of Rome
to be a persistent servant and pastor of your people;
keep your church in the faith that he taught
and unwavering in its mission in the world;
through 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.
