Prayers: The Saints, Martyrs and Missionaries of Asia
2 December
Collect 317
Most gracious God,
accept our thanks
for the saints, martyrs and missionaries of Asia:
may the ears which hear your word be open to the truth;
the eyes which see your love shine with the light of hope;
and the tongues which sing your praises
speak of the Word made flesh,
Jesus Christ our Lord,
whom by the power of the Spirit
you raised to live with you,
his God and Father,
for ever and ever.
