Collect (ECUSA):
O God, you have taught us to keep all your commandments by loving you and our neighbor: Grant us the grace of your Holy Spirit, that we may be devoted to you with our whole heart, and united to one another with pure affection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
O God,
you tell us to loving you and love
our neighbor:
Send us your Holy Spirit,
to help us to love you
with our whole heart,
and to love one another
through Jesus
Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
