COLLECT FOR THE DAY

O God of new beginnings: give us courage to turn and joyfully follow you
into new adventures of faithful service;
through Jesus Christ our light and our salvation,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, One God, for ever and ever.
Amen

Psalm 27: 1,4-12

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom then shall I fear? :
the Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
4 One thing I have asked from the Lord, which I will require :
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
5 To see the fair beauty of the Lord :
and to seek his will in his temple.
6 For he will hide me under his shelter in the day of trouble :
and conceal me in the shadow of his tent,
and set me high upon a rock.
7 And now he will lift up my head :
above my enemies round about me.
8 And I will offer sacrifices in his sanctuary with exultation :
I will sing, I will sing praises to the Lord.
9 O Lord, hear my voice when I cry :
have mercy upon me and answer me.
10 My heart has said of you, ‘Seek his face’ :
your face, Lord, I will seek.
11 Do not hide your face from me :
or thrust your servant aside in displeasure;
12 For you have been my helper :
do not cast me away or forsake me,
O God of my salvation.

TAIZÉ
Ubi caritas et amor
Ubi caritas, deus ibi est
Live in charity and steadfast love
Live in charity; God will dwell with you
