A Holy Week Prayer for the Church

+

O GOD of unchangeable power and eternal might: 
Look favorably upon thy whole Church, 
that wonderful and sacred mystery; 
by the effectual working of thy providence, 
carry out in tranquillity the plan of salvation; 
let the whole world see and know 
that things which were cast down are being raised up, 
and things which had grown old are being made new, 
and that all things are being brought to their perfection 
by him through whom all things were made, 
thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord; 
who liveth and reigneth with thee 
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, 
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.


The Book of Common Prayer, 1979
