The collect for today, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226), Friar, Deacon, Founder of the Friars Minor (source[1]):
O God,
who ever delightest to reveal thyself
to the childlike and lowly of heart,
grant that, following the example of the blessed Francis,
we may count the wisdom of this world as foolishness
and know only Jesus Christ and him crucified,
who liveth and reigneth with thee,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
The Epistle: Galatians 6:14-18[2]
The Gospel: St. Matthew 11:25-30[3]
