Collect
Our God and King,
you called George Herbert
to be a pastor, a poet, and a priest in your temple;
give us grace joyfully to perform
the tasks you give us to do,
and teach us to see you in all things;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Prayer
Our Father,
give us today our daily bread.
God of seed and growth and harvest,
creator of need, creator of satisfaction;
give us, we pray, our daily bread,
sufficient and assured for all.
Give us also, we pray, the bread of life,
and we shall have a care to feed the hungry,
and to seek for peace and justice in the world.
Help us, then, to remember and to know
that you are our life today and every day;
you are the food we need, now and for ever.
Amen.
