O Lord, who hast taught us that all our doings without charity are nothing worth;
be to the other a strength in need, a counselor in perplexity, a comfort in sorrow, and a companion in joy
we, being illumined by the teaching of thine apostle and evangelist John,
It is not necessary that the Traditions and Ceremonies be in all places one, or utterly like;
a Collect expressive of some special need in the life of the local congregation
Be gracious to all who have gone astray from thy ways
The festival of a saint is observed in accordance with the rules
pour upon them the continual dew of thy blessing
whose never-failing providence ordereth all things both in heaven and earth
all that is true and noble, just and pure, loveable and gracious, excellent and admirable
inside the altar rails or in a place set aside to give greater privacy
Almighty God, give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the armor of light, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the quick and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal;
That it may please thee to give us true repentance
to direct and rule us according to your will, to comfort us in all our afflictions, to defend us from all error, and to lead us into all truth
