                                            Romans 5:4-5

we… 

boast 

in our 

sufferings, knowing that  suffering pro-

duces endurance, and endurance produces charac-ter, and character produces hope, 

and hope does not disappoint us, be-

cause God’s love has been poured into 

our hearts through the Holy Spirit that 

                         has been givento us

 Lord Jesus Christ, 

you stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the cross that all might come within the reach of your saving embrace. So clothes us with your Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love, may bring bring those who do not know you to the knowledge and love of of you….” A Collect for Mission at Morning Prayer (BCP Pg101) written by Charles Brent
