Trinity Sunday, Additional Collect (Redub)


Holy God,
faithful and unchanging:
enlarge our minds with the knowledge
of your world, your cosmos and your truth.
Draw us more deeply into the mystery of your love.
Help us truly serve and worship you,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever.
Amen.

The Gunning Fog readability index suggests 7.87 years of formal education is required to understand this prayer on a first reading, the Common Worship prayer requires 17.75 years.

Here's the information on how this prayer is a redub.

My collection of five prayers for Trinity Sunday are here.

You can also look at the full Index of Prayers.

The project runs from Advent 2012 to Advent 2013.

If you want to use the prayers, an acknowledgement of myself as author and, if there's space, the link to my blog would be much appreciated.
