Collect of the day

God of inspiration,

you caused all holy scriptures

to be written for our instruction,

grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them,

that by steadfastness

and by the encouragement of your holy Word, we may embrace and ever hold fast

to the blessed hope of everlasting life,

which you have given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ, who is alive with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God now and for ever.

Amen
