Grace

Dear God,
thank you for all that is good,
for our creation and for our humanity,
for the gifts of life and of one another,
for your love which is unbounded and eternal.
for the food before us,
the family and friends beside us
and the love between us.
Amen.

Psalm 61

  1. Hear my cry, O God;
    listen to my prayer.
  2. From the end of the earth I call to you,
    when my heart is faint.
    Lead me to the rock
    that is higher than I;
  3. for you are my refuge,
    a strong tower against the enemy.
  4. Let me abide in your tent for ever,
    find refuge under the shelter of your wings.Selah
  5. For you, O God, have heard my vows;
    you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
  6. Prolong the life of the king;
    may his years endure to all generations!
  7. May he be enthroned for ever before God;
    appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!
  8. So I will always sing praises to your name,
    as I pay my vows day after day.

Collect

God of grace,
your Church is built on Peter’s faith;
grant that we, like him, forgiven and restored,
may overcome our weakness
and serve you without wavering,
now and for ever.
Amen.
