Collect for Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity

O Lord, we beseech you mercifully to hear the prayers of your people who call upon you; and grant that they may both perceive and know what things they ought to do, and also may have grace and power faithfully to fulfil them; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Out of respect for people’s privacy we are not publishing details for prayer requests online where their personal information could be seen by anyone around the world. We shall share prayer requests during the intercessions and trust that you will be praying for those issues of which you are aware.
