​17th Sunday after Pentecost 

Prayer of the weekO God,
without you we are not able to please you:
mercifully grant that your Holy Spirit
may in all things direct and rule our hearts;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
Prayer of the day
God of mercy,
                help us to forgive as you have forgiven us,
                to trust you, even when hope is failing,
                and to take up our cross daily
                and follow you in your redeeming work;
                through Jesus Christ our Lord,
                who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,      
                one God, now and for ever.                              Amen.
