The collect for today, the Fourth Sunday after Trinity, from The Book of Common Prayer[1] (Canadian, 1962):
O GOD, the protector of all that trust in thee, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: Increase and multiply upon us thy mercy; that, thou being our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we finally lose not the things eternal. Grant this, O heavenly Father, for Jesus Christ’s sake our Lord. Amen.
The Epistle: Romans 8:18-23[2]
The Gospel: St. Luke 6:36-42[3]
