COLLECT FOR THE DAY

O God of mercy, by your Holy Spirit, you nourish us with life: plant us now in good soil, that we may bear the fruit of justice and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.  

Psalm 119: 105-112  
105  Your word is a lantern to my feet:  and a light to my path.
106 I have vowed and sworn an oath:  to keep your righteous judgements.
107 I have been afflicted beyond measure:  Lord, give me life according to your word.
108 Accept, O Lord, the freewill offerings of my mouth:  and teach me your judgements.
109 I take my life in my hands continually:  yet I do not forget your law.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me:  but I have not strayed from your precepts.
111 Your commands are my inheritance for ever:  they are the joy of my heart.
112 I have set my heart to fulfil your statutes:  always, even to the end.
