Collect for the New Guinea Martyrs
O Almighty God,
who didst enable thy missionary and Papuan martyrs,
in New Guinea, in a day of sore trial and danger, to be
faithful to their calling and to glorify thee by their deaths:
Grant we humbly beseech thee that, by the witness of
these thy martyrs, thy whole Church may be enriched
and strengthened for the gathering into thy fold
of thy children in all lands;
and that we thy servants, following the example of their
steadfastness and courage, may labour the more
fervently for the coming of thy kingdom,
and may so faithfully serve thee here on earth
that we may be joined with them hereafter in heaven.
Through thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost,
ever one God, world without end. Amen.
Collect for the New Guinea Martyrs, Bishop Philip Strong.
