    Merciful God,
    you have prepared for those who love you
    such good things as pass our understanding:
    pour into our hearts such love toward you
    that we, loving you in all things and above all things,
    may obtain your promises,
    which exceed all that we can desire;
    through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
    who is alive and reigns with you,
    in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
    one God, now and for ever.

    Post Communion

    God of our pilgrimage,
    you have led us to the living water:
    refresh and sustain us
    as we go forward on our journey,
    in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.

    Collect

    Lord God almighty,
    who so kindled the faith of King Oswald with your Spirit
    that he set up the sign of the cross in his kingdom
    and turned his people to the light of Christ:
    grant that we, being fired by the same Spirit,
    may always bear our cross before the world
    and be found faithful servants of the gospel;
    through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
    who is alive and reigns with you,
    in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
    one God, now and for ever.

    Post Communion

    God our redeemer,
    whose Church was strengthened by the blood of your martyr Oswald:
    so bind us, in life and death, to Christ’s sacrifice
    that our lives, broken and offered with his,
    may carry his death and proclaim his resurrection in the world;
    through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    (or)

    Eternal God,
    who gave us this holy meal
    in which we have celebrated the glory of the cross
    and the victory of your martyr Oswald:
    by our communion with Christ
    in his saving death and resurrection,
    give us with all your saints the courage to conquer evil
    and so to share the fruit of the tree of life;
    through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    Collect on the Eve of the Transfiguration

    Father in heaven,
    whose Son Jesus Christ was wonderfully transfigured
    before chosen witnesses upon the holy mountain,
    and spoke of the exodus he would accomplish at Jerusalem:
    give us strength so to hear his voice and bear our cross
    that in the world to come we may see him as he is;
    who is alive and reigns with you,
    in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
    one God, now and for ever.
