Collect  

Guard your Church, O Lord, with your perpetual mercy:  and since without  your aid we lose our way, draw  us always,  by your help, away from harm, and steer us towards salvation;  through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end.

Amen
