Collect for the 3rd Sunday in Lent
Holy God,
merciful and patient over all creation,
who confronts our casual and fruitless ways,
fire our hearts with compassion,
quicken our minds against deceit and shallowness,
and strengthen our wills to resist evil
and follow Christ.
Through Jesus Christ our Liberator,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
