Collect One
O God,
giver of life and health,
whose Son Jesus Christ has called us
to hunger and thirst for justice;
refresh us with your grace,
that we may not be weary in well-doing,
for the sake of him who meets all our needs,
Jesus Christ our Saviour;
who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Collect Two
Almighty God,
who sent your Holy Spirit
to be the life and light of your Church:
Open our hearts to the riches of his grace,
that we may bring forth the fruit of the Spirit
in love and joy and peace;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Holy Father,
who gathered us here around the table of your Son

In that new world where you reveal the fulness of your peace,
gather people of every race and language
to share in the eternal banquet
of Jesus Christ our Lord.
