Collect
Gracious God,
you gave to your servant John Chrysostom
eloquence of speech and courage to bear reproach for you;
give us clarity in our proclamation of the gospel
and steadfastness in time of trial;
for the sake of Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Amen.
Prayer
Our Father,
give us today our daily bread.
Holy and eternal God,
in you we live and move and have our being.
In all our cares and occupations,
guide and govern us by your Spirit,
that we may both remember and reveal your presence;
through our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen.
The Blessing
May Christ the Son of God, gladden our hearts
with the good news of God’s Kingdom.
Amen.
