Almighty God, who didst give such grace unto thy holy Apostle Saint Andrew that he readily obeyed the call of thy Son Jesus Christ, and didst bring his brother with him: Grant unto us all, that we, being called by thy holy Word, may have grace to follow him without delay, and forthwith bring those near to us into his gracious presence; who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.

Collects

Almighty God, give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which thy Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the quick and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
