The Collect

Almighty God, who by your Son Jesus Christ did give to your holy Apostles many excellent gifts, and did charge them to feed your flock;¹

Give grace, we beseech you, to all Bishops, the Pastors of your Church, that they may diligently preach your Word, and duly administer the godly Discipline thereof; and grant to the people, that they may obediently follow the same; that all may receive the crown of everlasting glory; through the same your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.²
