Lord Jesus Christ, Your kingdom is not of this world, and You command us to trust not in princes. Keep us always mindful that our citizenship is in heaven, from which we eagerly wait for You, our Savior. Keep us from being conformed to the ways of this world so that we look to You for all good, and find refuge in Your protection. Strengthen our faith in Your promise of the new heaven and earth, where the righteous dwell, so that our hope, being set in You, would set us free to truly love, serve, bless, care for, and have compassion on our neighbors. Amen. 

(prayer is by Rev. Brian Wolfmueller)

Collect for Laetare:

Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty God, that we, who for our evil deeds do worthily deserve to be punished, by the comfort of Thy grace may mercifully be relieved, through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
