Peter’s see EH 541 Collect: Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the
works of darkness and to put on the armour of light, now in the time of this
mortal life, in which your Son Jesus Christ came to us in great
humility; that on the last day, when
he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge the living and the dead,
we may rise to the life immortal; through him who is alive and reigns with
you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever AMEN Post Communion: O Lord
our God, make us watchful and keep us faithful as we await the coming of your
Son our Lord; that, when he shall
appear, he may not find us sleeping in sin but active in his service and
joyful in his praise; through Jesus
Christ our Lord AMEN We pray this week within the Anglican
