The Collect for 15th Sunday after Trinity Sunday

Almighty God, you have taught us through your Son that love is the fulfilling of the law. Grant that we may love you with our whole heart and our neighbours as ourselves; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
 

Prayers for this week:

Diocese of Singapore

• Pray for Archbishop Titus Chung, together with all clergy, lay leaders, ministry staff, and volunteers throughout the Diocese. May God grant them wisdom, strength, and joy in their ministry. May He uphold them in times of challenges, refresh them by His Holy Spirit.
• Let us pray for the Diocese’s mission efforts, church planting initiatives, schools, community ministries, and partnerships across Singapore and Southeast Asia. May God open doors for the Gospel, equip His people for service, and use His Church to bring peace, justice, and hope to all who are in need.

World

• We lift up nations of the world and pray for places affected by war, conflict, division, and injustice. May God bring peace and reconciliation, comfort those who mourn, strengthen those who live in fear, and guide world leaders to seek justice and the common good.
• We especially remember the people of Nepal affected by devastating floods. Let us pray for those who have lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods. May God comfort the grieving, protect those in danger, and strengthen all relief workers serving affected communities.
• May God’s light shine throughout the world, and His Church be a faithful witness to Christ through words of truth and acts of love.

Singapore

• We give thanks to God for the peace, stability, and prosperity that our nation has enjoyed. Let us pray for our President, Prime Minister, Cabinet, Members of Parliament, and all who serve in public office. May God grant them wisdom, integrity, humility, and compassion as they make decisions for the well-being of our nation and people.
• Let us also pray for the people of Singapore. In our diverse society of different races, languages, cultures, and faiths, may God help us to live together in harmony and mutual respect. Let us remember those who are vulnerable, the elderly, the lonely, and all who are facing difficulties. May God’s love be made known through caring communities and compassionate hearts.

St Hilda’s Church

• We thank God for His faithfulness to St Hilda’s Church through every season. Let us pray that our congregation will grow deeper in our love for God and in our knowledge of His Word. May we be faithful disciples of Jesus Christ, living lives marked by humility, compassion, and obedience.
• Let us pray for our pastors, church leaders, staff, ministry teams, and volunteers. May God grant them wisdom, strength, and joy as they serve. Let us also pray for every ministry of the church, that we may be united as one church family, supporting and encouraging one another in Christ.
• We pray for the sick and those suffering in body, mind or spirit. May God our Father grant them comfort, peace and healing.
