Set readings
I pray by our Lord Jesus Christ your Son, the man of your right hand,
the Son of Man, whom you appointed as mediator, through whom
you sought us when we did not seek you, so that we might seek you;
your Word, through whom you made all things, myself among them;
your Only Begotten, through whom you called to adoption those
who believe, and me also; I pray by him, who sits at your right hand,
and intercedes with you for us, in whom are hidden all the treasures
of wisdom and knowledge. I seek these treasures in your books.^98

Eternal God, I pray for myself and for those dear to me......
You will light my candle, Lord my God, you will lighten my
darkness: and from your fullness we have all received, for you are the
true light that lights everyone that comes into the world; for in you
there is no variableness, or shadow of change.^99
I pray for my community and neighbours......
I pray for the church and mission of Jesus Christ in all places......
Lord, become dear to us, let us love, let us run. For when many
people are glad together each has more joy because they are kindled
by others. Together may we influence many towards salvation and
lead them by example.^100
