Thursday 30th April
Hello All,
Just in case you were wondering about the source of the prayers which end these reflections, they are modernised versions of the Collects found in the traditional Anglican Book of Prayer, and which are also found in the Methodist Book of Offices.

Prayer.

your will, grant that in the power of your Spirit we may turn from those things contrary to our
calling and truly follow Jesus, through his holy name
