Collect
Blessed Lord,
who caused all holy scriptures
to be written for our learning:
help us so to hear them,
to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest them that, through patience, and
the comfort of your holy word,
we may embrace and for ever hold fast
the hope of everlasting life,
which you have given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ, who is alive and reigns
with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Post
God of all grace,
Communion your Son Jesus Christ fed the hungry
with the bread of his life
and the word of his kingdom:
renew our people with your heavenly grace,
and in all our weakness
sustain us by your true and living bread;
who is alive and reigns, now and forever.

Preparation for Holy Communion
Lord Jesus, help us to draw near to your table
with obedient hearts, in response to your own invitation;
with penitent hearts, acknowledging our need of forgiveness;
with expectant hearts, knowing that you are present to meet with us;
with grateful hearts,
as those for whom your body was broken, your blood shed.
Make us ready to receive all that you have for us,
and to give all of ourselves to you;
for your great love’s sake.
