Collect

Our gracious God, your Son and our Lord Jesus descended to this world to restore our broken relationship with you. Also He who experienced sweat and hard labour in sharing the responsibilities as the Son of Mary and Joseph. Help us to be faithful in all our responsibilities and duties even in small work which you have entrusted to us; through Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
