Saint Andrew's Day

ALMIGHTY God, Who didst give unto Thy blessed Apostle Saint Andrew such grace, that he readily heard the calling of Thy Son Jesus Christ, and followed Him without delay ; Grant that we may, in like manner, follow Christ, despising the world which passeth away, and so attain to everlasting joys; Through the same. Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen, Saint Thomas the Apostle.

O ALMIGHTY God, Who, that we might more surely believe, didst suffer Thine Holy Apostle Saint Thomas to doubt j Establish us, we pray Thee, in Thy true faith, and make us ever to serve Thee in such works as are agreeable to the same ; Through Jesus Christ, Thy Son our Lord* Amen, Digitized by *0 0* COLLECTS FOR THE Saint Stephens Day. LORD Jesus Christ, Who didst give unto Thy First Martyr, Saint Stephen, grace to follow Thine example both in suffering and in patience; Grant that, like him, in all our sufferings here for Thee, we may not be terrified by our adversaries, but may pray for those who would do us harm, to Thee, O Blessed Saviour, Who, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
