For Missions and Missionaries

O LORD, Jesus Christ, Who didst charge Thine Apostles that they should preach the Gospel to every nation; prosper, we pray Thee, all missions, both at home and abroad. Give them all things needful for their work, making them to be centres of Spiritual life, to the quickening of many souls, and the glory of Thy Holy Name. Support, guide, and bless all Thy servants who are called to labour in those parts of Thy vineyard, give them grace to witness to the faith, endue them with burning zeal and love, make them patient under all disappointments, and meekly submissive under all persecutions, that they may turn many to righteousness, and may themselves win a crown of everlasting glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
