Prayer of the Day
Historic Collect
Almighty and everlasting God, you have given us grace to make the confession of a true faith. We acknowledge your glorious eternal Trinity, and we adore the unity of your majestic work. Defend us by this faith from all adversity and opposition to your way; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. (Gregorian Sacramentary, 6th Century)
Thematic Collect
Majestic Trinity, mystery of Three-in-One and One-in-Three, we worship you. Before time, your love burst forth creating the world in which you took delight.  Strengthen us in our faith, defend us from all evil and temptation, and bring us into the everlasting presence of your love; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God now and forever.  Amen.
Prayers of the Church
For Faithful Fathers
Majestic Trinity, be with all earthly fathers this day and always. Give them courage to lead their families in faith and morality, give them hearts filled with love for their children, and give them strength to care and tend to their family’s needs with your abiding help. We give thanks this day for all those men in our lives who have nurtured us, in mind, body and spirit. Lord in your mercy. Hear our prayer. 
For Rest and Renewal
Lord of the Sabbath, you commanded your people to rest just as you rested on the seventh day of creation. Grant your rest and renewal as families go on vacation this summer. Let them find quiet time to be together, that they might truly have sabbath and enjoy each other’s company. Lord in your mercy. Hear our prayer.
For Stewardship of Creation
Creating God, inspire nations and individuals to be better stewards of the gifts you have given us. Instill in us such a sense of awe at the majesty of your creation that we are more faithful caretakers of this earth and all its resources. Lord, in your mercy. Hear our prayer.  
For Those Who Suffer
God of life, strengthen and sustain those who suffer with depression or other mental illnesses. Bring healing to those who are ill and comfort to those who are grieving. [We pray particularly for …]. Lord in your mercy. Hear our prayer.
