Collect
Everloving God,
your gift to us is life eternal
through your Son’s willing sacrifice of himself;
may the example of Maximilian Kolbe
strengthen us to spend ourselves in your service
and bear the burdens of others even to death;
for the sake of Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Amen.
Prayer
Our Father,
give us today our daily bread.
God,
give us work till our life shall end,
and life till our work is done.
Amen.
