17. Keep us O Lord, from pettiness,
The Collect
Keep us O Lord, from pettiness,
Let us be large in thought, in word, in deed.
Let us be done with fault-finding
And leave off self-seeking
May we put away all pretense
And meet each other face to face
Without self-pity and without prejudice.
May we never be hasty in judgment
And always be generous
Let us take time for all things;
