Hymn

Collect
LMIGHTY God, who didst send thy Holy Spirit to be the life and light of thy
Church: open our hearts to the riches of thy grace, that we may bring
forth the fruit of the Spirit in love and joy and peace; through Jesus Christ thy
Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Colossians 2:6-15 (Read by Judith Brown)
The Gospel
Luke 11:1-13
ESUS was praying in a certain place, and after he had finished, one of his
disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.’
He said to them, ‘When you pray, say:
Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.
Give us each day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us.
And do not bring us to the time of trial.’
And he said to them, ‘Suppose one of you has a friend, and you go to him at
midnight and say to him, “Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; for a friend of
mine has arrived, and I have nothing to set before him.” And he answers from
J
within, “Do not bother me; the door has already been locked, and my children
are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.” I tell you, even
though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, at
least because of his persistence he will get up and give him whatever he
needs. So I say to you, Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will
find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks
receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the
door will be opened. Is there anyone among you who, if your child asks for a
fish, will give a snake instead of a fish? Or if the child asks for an egg, will give
a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those
who ask him!

OLY Father, who didst gather us around the table of thy Son that we,
