The collect for today, the Feast of Saint Chad (d. 672), Bishop of Lichfield, Missionary (source[1]):
[2]Almighty God,
who, from the first fruits of the English nation
that turned to Christ,
didst call thy servant Chad
to be an evangelist and bishop of his own people:
grant us grace so to follow his peaceable nature,
humble spirit and prayerful life,
that we may truly commend to others
the faith which we ourselves profess;
through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord,
who liveth and reigneth with thee,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
The Epistle: Philippians 4:10-13[3]
The Gospel: St Luke 14:1,7-14[4]
