O Lord, holy and true, who opens and none can shut,
as you have set before your church an open door,
strengthen your servants boldly to enter in
and to declare your name,
that they who oppose may yet come to worship
and may know that you love your church.
Grant to your people patience to keep your word,
and keep them from the hour of trial which is coming
upon the whole world to try them who dwell on the earth.
And encourage all Christians in every land
to hold fast that which you have given,
that the crown of glory be not taken away,
but that having overcome, they may stand before you
as pillars in the temple of God
and bear the name of the heavenly city
and your own new name, O Christ our God.
Father, we commend to you all who are joined to us
by natural bonds of love;
the little children dear to our hearts,
and all who for our sakes daily deny themselves.
May all our kindred,
having your Holy Spirit as their helper,
be at peace and have unfeigned love among themselves.
And grant them, O Lord, not only sufficient to supply
the needs of this present life but also the good and
eternal gifts that are laid up for them who do your
commandments.
Through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Columba (521–597)
