Father of mercy,
alone we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves.
When we are discouraged by our weakness,
strengthen us to follow Christ, our pattern and our hope; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Lord of the wellspring, source of life and truth: give us the courage of the Samaritan woman, so that we may receive living water,
and worship you in spirit and in truth;
through Jesus Christ who quenches our thirst with eternal life. Amen.

WE beseech thee, Almighty God, look upon the hearty desires of thy humble servants, and stretch forth the right hand of thy Majesty, to be our defence against all our enemies; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
