A Prayer of John Stott link
The Complete Book of Christian Prayer #509

O Lord Jesus Christ
Who didst invite the heavy lade to come to thee,
And didst promise to give them rest and never to cast them out,
help us so to come to thee that we may find rest in thee,
and so to believe thy promise that we may know that thou hast received us,
for the glory of thy name,
who with the Father and the Holy Spirit art ever worthy to be trusted and adored.
Amen

A Prayer of Ambrose (c 339-97) link

O Lord, who hast mercy upon all, take away from me my sins,
and mercifully kindle in me the fire of thy Holy Spirit.
Take away from me the heart of stone,
and give me a heart of flesh,
a heart to love and adore thee,
a heart to delight in thee,
to follow and to enjoy thee,
for Christ’s sake.
In Jesus name,
Amen

Scripture Reading:  Luke 6:29-31 ((Bible Gateway)

Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt from him either.  Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back. Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.

A Prayer by Thomas a Kempis (c.1380-1471) link
The Complete Book of Christian Prayer #524

O God the Holy Ghost, most loving Comforter of the fainthearted,
I beseech thee ever to turn that which is evil in me to good
And that which is good into that which is better;
Turn my mourning into joy,
My wandering feet into the right path,
My ignorance into knowledge of thy truth,
My lukewarmness into zeal,
My fear into love,
All my material good into a spiritual gift,
All my earthly desires into heavenly,
All that is transient into that which lasts forever,
Everything human into that which is divine,
Everything created and finite into that sovereign and immeasurable good,
Which Thou Thyself art,
O my God and Saviour
Amen

Benediction: Church of England Book of Common Prayer 1928 link
The Complete Book of Christian Prayer #1174

Go forth into the world in peace;
Be of good courage;
Hold fast that which is good;
Render to no man evil for evil;
Strengthen the fainthearted;
Support the weak;
Help the afflicted;
Honour all men;
Love and serve the Lord,
Rejoicing in the power of the Holy Spirit.
And the blessing of God almighty,
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost,
Be upon you,
And remain with you forever.
Amen
