COLLECT FOR THE SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
O God, you have prepared for those who love you such good things as surpass our understanding: Pour into our hearts such love towards 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 our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
COLLECT FOR MOTHER’S DAY
Lord Jesus Christ, who was born of a human mother, and cared for her on the cross: We commend to you the mothers of our nation. May their children be nurtured in your discipline and instruction, and may their homes be havens of peace and love, made fragrant with your presence; who with the Father and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns one God, forever and ever. Amen.
