Collect (ECUSA):
Almighty God, you have built your Church upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone: Grant us so to be joined together in unity of spirit by their teaching, that we may be made a holy temple acceptable to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Almighty God,
Your Church is made up of
all the people who love you,
starting with the apostles and
prophets,
and supported by Jesus Christ himself in the same way
that the foundation supports a building.
Help us to learn from the
apostles and prophets,
and inspire us with your spirit
so that
we may be a beautiful and holy Church;
through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for
ever and ever. Amen.
