Morning Prayer for the Ninth Sunday after Trinity (Trinity 9) and the Twenty-Second Sunday in COVIDtide

God is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God in him.

Collect of the Day: Grant to us, Lord, we beseech thee, the spirit to think and do always such things as be rightful; that we, who cannot do any thing that is good without thee, may by thee be enabled to live according to thy will; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

And since I am going fishing today:

They that go down to the sea in ships, / and occupy their business on the great waters;

These men see the works of the Lord, / and his wonders in the deep.

O Almighty God, who hast made the sea, and all that move therein: Bestow thy blessing on the harvest of the waters, that it may be abundant in its season, and on our sailors and fishermen, that they may be safe in every peril of the deep; so that we all with thankful hearts may acknowledge thee, who art Lord of the sea and of the dry land; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Also how appropriate that today’s second lesson is Acts 27 (Paul’s voyage to Rome by sea)
