A Collect to Live According to the Father’s Design

Lord of creation, in whose mind the pattern for all things has existed for all eternity, keep us from marring your design for creation through our weakness and sin, but give us the grace to live according to your joy and the joy you have set in our hearts, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives with you and the Holy Spirit in perfect unity, world without end. Amen. “Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” – Mark 10:9
