To Think and Do Rightly: Collect Reflection for Proper 9 | #anglican #prayer #HolySpirit

What are we praying for in the Collect of the Day from Proper 9, the Sunday that falls from July 3-July 9? Father Jeremiah explains the deep theology lying underneath the surface of this prayer so that we might more fully receive the blessing of praying it.

The text of the collect is:
Grant us, O Lord, we pray, the spirit to think and do always those things that are right, that we, who can do no good thing apart from you, may by you be enabled to live according to your will, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
