Collects and Prayers
Collect for the Transfiguration
God of Glory,
You gave the vision of your Son
To those who watched on the mountain;
Grant that by our glimpses of him,
We may be changed into his glorious likeness,
For he lives and reigns with you,
and the Holy Spirit,
One God, now and for ever. Amen.
Lord of compassion and power,
be with those affected by the Corona Virus as so many suffer
while others’ lives are disrupted and filled with uncertainty.
Give your grace and strength to all who minister
to their needs of body, mind and spirit.
Heal and help those who are traumatised by what is happening.
Give peace to the dying.
Comfort and support the bereaved, broken and confused,
and to all who are working to bring relief,
give strength and resilience
to do their work well;
In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen
