Collect

A collect is a short prayer used in liturgy, for example towards the beginning of the Eucharist. It often reflects the themes of the particular season of the Church’s year. Its name comes from the idea that it ‘collects’ together the lessons of the service readings.

Holy Communion

At Holy Communion blessed bread and wine is shared, by which we receive the body and blood of Jesus Christ. The congregation gives thanks for Jesus’ life, his death and resurrection and his continuing presence. See also Eucharist.

Prayer

Prayer sustains our human relationship with God and may involve words (formal or informal) or be silent. Prayer can involve adoration (‘I love you’), confession (‘sorry’), thanksgiving and supplication (‘please’).

Collect 154

Heavenly Father,
you gave your servants Timothy and Titus
to be the companions of your apostle Paul,
and to share with him in preaching the gospel
and building up the Church:
grant that by our fellowship in the Holy Spirit
we may bear witness to the name of Jesus,
who is alive and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit,
God for ever.
