The collect for today, The Fourth Sunday After Easter, from The Book of Common Prayer [1](Canadian, 1962):
O ALMIGHTY God, who alone canst order the unruly wills and affections of sinful men: Grant unto thy people, that they may love the thing which thou commandest, and desire that which thou dost promise; that so, among the sundry and manifold changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed, where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Epistle: St. James 1:17-21[2]
The Gospel: St. John 16:5-15[3]
