The collect for today, the Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany, from The Book of Common Prayer (Canadian, 1962):
O GOD, who knowest us to be set in the midst of so many and great dangers, that by reason of the frailty of our nature we cannot always stand upright: Grant to us such strength and protection, as may support us in all dangers, and carry us through all temptations; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Epistle: Romans 13:1-7
The Gospel: St. Mark 4:35-41
