Collect for the First Sunday in Lent

Protect us from foolish and corrupt desire

---

God,

you know better than we

the temptations that will bring us down.

Grant that our love for you may protect us

from all foolish and corrupt desire.

Praise to you our God; you answer prayer.

Amen.

E te Atua,

nui atu āu mōhiotanga i a mātou

ki ngā whakamātautau e hinga ai mātou.

Tukua mā tō mātou aroha ki a koe e ārai

atu

i ngā hiahia pōhouhou, pōriro hoki.

He whakamoemiti ki a koe, e tō mātou

Atua; ka whakamana te īnoi.

Āmine.
