 A Collect for Sundays

Lord God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ triumphed over the powers of death and prepared for us our place in the new  Jerusalem: Grant that we, who have this day given thanks for  his resurrection, may praise you in that City of which he is the  light, and where he lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.

A Collect for Fridays

Lord Jesus Christ, by your death you took away the sting of death: Grant to us your servants so to follow in faith where  you have led the way, that we may at length fall asleep  peacefully in you and wake up in your likeness; for your  tender mercies’ sake. Amen.

A Collect for Saturdays

O God, the source of eternal light: Shed forth your unending day upon us who watch for you, that our lips may praise you,  our lives may bless you, and our worship on the morrow give  you glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

A Collect for Peace

Most holy God, the source of all good desires, all right judgments, and all just works: Give to us, your servants, that  peace which the world cannot give, so that our minds may be  fixed on the doing of your will, and that we, being delivered  from the fear of all enemies, may live in peace and quietness;  through the mercies of Christ Jesus our Savior. Amen.

A Collect for Aid against Perils

Be our light in the darkness, O Lord, and in your great mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love  of your only Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
