Lord God, You have taught us that anything we do without love is worth nothing, for whoever lives without love is counted dead before You; send Your Holy Spirit and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of love, the true bond of peace and of all virtues: grant this for the sake of Your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.

Almighty and everlasting God, give unto us the increase of faith, hope and love; and that we may obtain that which You promise, make us to love that which You command: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Collect for Harvest:

Almighty and everlasting God, who hast graciously given to us the fruits of the earth in their season: We yield Thee humble and hearty thanks for these Thy bounties, beseeching Thee to give us grace rightly to use them to Thy glory and the relief of those that need; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Collect for Children & Young People’s Harvest:

Eternal God, You have promised to be a Father to a thousand generations of those who love and fear you: Bless the Children and Youth of Your Church and preserve their lives as they grow up in an unsteady and confusing world: show them Your way and give them more life than the ways of the world: and that following You is better than chasing after selfish goals. Give them strength to grow and hold their faith in You, keep alive their joy in Your creation, and at the last, harvest them into Your heavenly barn, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Collect for Peace:

O God, the author of peace and lover of concord, in knowledge of whom stands our eternal life, whose service is perfect freedom; defend us. Your humble servants in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in Your defence, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Collect for Grace:

O Lord our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, who has safely brought us to the beginning of this day; defend us in the same with Your mighty power, and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger; but that all our doings may be ordered by Your governance, to do always what is righteous in Your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
