Look with pity, O Heavenly Father, upon the people in this land who live with injustice, terror, disease, and death as their constant companions. Have mercy upon us. Help us to eliminate our cruelty to these our neighbours. Strengthen those who spend their lives establishing equal protection of the law and equal opportunities for all. And grant that everyone of us may enjoy a fair portion of the riches of this land;

O God, You made us in your own image and redeemed us through Jesus your son: look with compassion on the whole human family; take away the arrogance and hatred which infect our hearts; break down the walls that separate us; unite us in bonds of love; and work through our struggle and confusion to accomplish your purpose on earth; that, in your good time, all nations and races may serve you in harmony around your heavenly throne;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

36. For the Oppressed

3. For the Human Family

“Look down, O Lord, from your heavenly throne, and illumine this night with your celestial brightness; that by night as by day your people may glorify your holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”

Book of Common Prayer, 1979 - Compline

“Archbishop Michael Ramsey of Canterbury on the Daily Office:

‘The point of the Daily Office is to root your prayer in the scriptures and in the Church’s corporate prayer. The Daily Office in psalm and canticle and lection tells of God’s historic revelation and redemption and of the response of the Church down the ages in praise and thanksgiving. We need to soak ourselves in this if our prayer is to be fully in Christ’s name and to his glory, and one with the redeemed people of God. In the Daily Office we are lifted beyond the contemporary; and let us be sure that we will serve the contemporary scene effectively only if we are sometimes lifted beyond it, praying with the Church across the ages and with the communion of God’s saints. We all experience times when the Daily Office is a burden; persevere, and you [will] find it less a burden than a wonderful liberation.’”

Heavenly Father, whose blessed Son was revealed to destroy the works of the devil and to make us the children of God and heirs of eternal life: grant that we, having this hope, may purify ourselves even as he is pure; that when he shall appear in power and great glory we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.- Church of England collect appointed for the 2nd Sunday prior to Advent Amazing lineage: prayers from the 1662 BCP are still being recited verbatim today #churchofengland #bookofcommonprayer https://www.instagram.com/p/B493q5-DhRX/?igshid=vro8aifcui9b
