<DIV>Collect for Proper 17:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Let us pray:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Creator God,<BR>all you have made is good,<BR>even very good.<BR>We in our
divided minds<BR>separate your creation<BR>into clean and unclean.<BR>Clear our
minds to see you<BR>both in what we call profane<BR>as well as in the
sacred.<BR>We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, <BR>who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit, <BR>one God for ever and ever. Amen</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>

<DIV>I will be gone to Alaska for a couple weeks. However, the content of the
above link will change to Proper 18 and 19 respectively by the Monday preceding
those Propers. Or they can be found in my archives.</DIV>
