The collect for today, Quinquagesima, being the Fiftieth Day before Easter, from The Book of Common Prayer[1] (Canadian, 1962):
O LORD, who hast taught us that all our doings without charity are nothing worth: Send thy Holy Spirit, and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of charity, the very bond of peace and of all virtues, without which whosoever liveth is counted dead before thee. Grant this for thine only Son Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen.
The Epistle: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13[2]
The Gospel: St Luke 18:31-43[3]
