Collect for the 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Matariki)
Creator God,
you flung the stars into space
and your majesty is revealed in their beauty.
Give us thankful hearts for your gifts in creation
and for one another, as we celebrate the hope
of the new
and mourn the passing of the old,
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen.
