The Book of Common Prayer
Second Sunday of Lent (Prayer)
As Lent continues, ESN will share collects from The Book of Common Prayer and prayer requests. Scholar’s Compass will continue, but will appear on weekdays instead of Sundays.
Collect for the Second Sunday in Lent, Book of Common PrayerÂ
O God, whose glory it is always to have mercy: Be gracious to all who have gone astray from thy ways, and bring them again with penitent hearts and steadfast faith to embrace and hold fast the unchangeable truth of thy Word, Jesus Christ thy Son; who with thee and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.*
Prayer requests for the week:
- That Christian academics would find rest and a chance to reflect during Lent, in spite of the busy season.
- That this season would be a great time for us to learn from our brothers and sisters in our churches, whatever their vocations or passions, and that the whole body of Christ would be edified by all the members sharing their gifts.

First Sunday of Lent (Prayer)
In recognition of the first Sunday of Lent, ESN shares this prayer. Scholar’s Compass will continue to run during Lent, but may appear during the week to give space for brief Lenten prayers and sometimes prayer requests on Sundays. Note: When you contact us, please do not only ask for advice, connections, and mentors, but also share particular prayer requests with us along the academic journey.
