The collect for today, the Feast of Saint Edmund (841-869), King of the East Angles, Martyr (source[1]):

Wilton Diptych, St Edmund[2]O eternal God,
whose servant Edmund kept faith to the end,
both with thee and with his people,
and glorified thee by his death:
grant us the same steadfast faith,
that, together with the noble army of martyrs,
we may come to the perfect joy of the resurrection life;
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: 1 St Peter 3:14-18[3]
The Gospel: St Matthew 10:16-22[4]
