July 4

Blessings to you on our National Holiday!
1662 Book of Common Prayer: International Edition, provides us with a wonderful collect for this, our National Day of Commemoration:

"Almighty and everlasting God, by whom the whole world is governed and sanctified: Receive our humble supplications, we beseech thee, for this our nation, that it may be ruled evermore in righteousness and equity, and that we thy people may serve and glorify thy holy name, through the power of thy blessed Son Jesus Christ, who with thee and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth, ever one God, world without end. Amen." (p. 713)
