A Collect for Willingness to Sacrifice for Others

Loving Lord, who gave yourself for our sake once for all, grant us the same spirit that you have, to be willing to give of ourselves for others, that we would join in your way of endless giving and become part of that great kingdom of those who are joined together in love for one another, though you who reigns over all things in love and joy with the Father and Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.

‘For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of the true one, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. … But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to remove sin by the sacrifice of himself.’ – Hebrews 9:24, 26
