66 Proper Collects

Give me a teachable mind, a reverent and humble temper. Hear the prayers of Thy Church throughout the world which shall this day ascend to Thee in heaven, and grant unto me, and unto all for whom / pray, a part in all the blessings which they call down on earth. Be with the ministers and stewards of Thy mysteries, and especially with those who minister to Thee among Thy people in this parish, that they may effectually set forth Thy word, and celebrate Thy holy sacraments, to our salvation and to Thy glory ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Forgive 7?ie, / beseech Thee, gracious Lord, all that Thou hast seen amiss in me, this day, and especially during the time that has been devoted to Thy worship, in secret or with the congregation. Let not my prayers be wholly lost, nor Thy good purpose toward m^e brought to nought, through my infirmities and sins. And while in Thy mercy Thou dost overlook the past, so purify and prepare my soul, that being filled with Thy love / may henceforth serve Thee with an undivided heart, and from Thy worship here may rise to join in Thy eternal praises in the heavens, where with the Son and the Holy Ghost Thon ever livest and reignest, one God, world without end.

Christ, the light of men, who, after brief sojourn in the grave, didst rise again, as on this day, and shed Thy glorious beams on the benighted world, grant, I beseech Thee, that, being illumined by Thy blessed Presence, / may evermore walk as a child of the light and of the day; to Thy glory, who, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest, one God, world without end. Amen.
