The Seventh Sunday of Epiphany (World Mission Sunday)

Acclamations

Celebrant: I will give thee for a light to the Gentiles:
People: That thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

Collects

O God, the strength of all those who put their trust in thee: Mercifully accept our prayers; and because, through the weakness of our mortal nature, we can do no good thing without thee, grant us the help of thy grace, that in keeping thy commandments we may please thee both in will and deed; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

Almighty God, who through the outpouring of the Holy Ghost didst reveal the way of eternal life to every race and nation: Pour out this gift anew, that by the preaching of the Gospel thy salvation may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
