Collect:
Almighty GOD, Liberator of all kinds of bondages, we thank You for calling women and men to be partners with You to liberate people from the bondage of slavery and sin. We pray now O GOD to look upon Your church so that women and men together commit themselves to be used by You as Your partners to bring peace and reconciliation everywhere. Through JESUS CHRIST our LORD who lives and reigns with YOU in unity with the HOLY SPIRIT, one GOD, now and forever more.
Amen.
