Almighty God,
who after the creation of the world
rested from all you works
and sanctified a day of rest
for all your creatures:
Grant that we,
putting away all earthly anxieties,
may be duly prepared
for the service of your sanctuary,
and that our rest here upon earth
may be a preparation
for the eternal rest
promised to your people in heaven;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
(A collect for Saturdays from The Book of Common Prayer)
