The collect for today, the Second Sunday in Lent, from The Book of Common Prayer[1] (Canadian, 1962):
ALMIGHTY God, who seest that we have no power of ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies, and inwardly in our souls; that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Epistle: 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8[2]
The Gospel: St. Matthew 15:21-28[3]
