Collect
God of Freedom and rest, who in Jesus Christ has set us free from the bondage of sin and invited us to take upon ourselves the yoke that is easy and the burden that is light, grant us grace to surrender wholly to your will. As Elisha turned from his former life to follow your call, so may we renounce all that hinders our obedience to Christ. Lead us into the true freedom of life under your Lordship. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
