A Collect to Not be Ashamed of Christ

Lord Jesus, who took on great shame upon the cross, keep us from being ashamed of you and your life, that we might not shame you yet more and would speak of your goodness openly to the world, through you who now reigns in glory forever with the Father and Holy Spirit. Amen.

“Those who are ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of them the Son of Man will also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” – Mark 8:38
