A Collect for Saturdays
This prayer, A Collect for Saturdays, is from Morning
Prayer Rite Two in The Book of Common Prayer, page 99.
Let us pray.
Almighty God, who after the creation of the world rested
from all your works and sanctified a day of rest for all your creatures: Grant
that we, putting away all earthly anxieties, may be duly prepared for the
service of your sanctuary, and that our rest here upon earth may be a
preparation for the eternal rest promised to your people in heaven; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
