The Collect
Merciful God, you have prepared for those who love you
such good things as pass our understanding: pour into our hearts such love toward you that we, loving you in all things and above all things, may obtain your promises,
which exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen

Post Communion Prayer
God of our pilgrimage, you have led us to the living water:
refresh and sustain us as we go forward on our journey,
in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
