/Thirteeth Sunday After Pentecost
The Collect:
Grant us, O Lord, to trust in you with all our hearts; for, as you always resist the proud who confide in their own strength, so you never forsake those who make their boast of your mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen
The Reverend Dr. Beth Echols

A Prayer for this Parish
Almighty and everliving God, ruler of all things in heaven and earth, hear our prayers for the St. Benedict parish family. Strengthen the faithful, arouse the careless, and restore the penitent. Grant us all things necessary for our common life, and bring us all to be of one heart and mind within your holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
~Amen.
