Collect

Holy God,who has redeemed us from the empty way of life,not with perishable things,but win the precious blood of Christ ,We pray that you help us to remainholy,by not walking in step with the wicked,not standing in the way that sinners take,not sitting in the company of the mockers and not craving for the food and drink that are deceptive,for,our bodies are Your temple,in no way to be made unholy by our passions and lusts Through Jesus Christ ,who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,One God,now and forever more.Amen.
