Henry Ossawa Tanner, Christ in the Home of Mary and Martha, c. 1905, Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh.

Proper 11

Collects

Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom, you know our necessities before we ask and our ignorance in asking: Have compassion on our weakness, and mercifully give us those things which for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our blindness we cannot ask; through the worthiness of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
