Collect
Gracious and Ever-living God, we thank you for the covenantal promises given to the humankind that we your people live in the world safely and secured, and to thus bestow us the salvation you have incarnated in the world so we become people of eternity. We beseech you that we who believe will be blessed with hope to surpass all the afflictions, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
