Collects

O Lord, who hast taught us that all our doings without charity are nothing worth: Send the Holy Ghost, and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of charity, the very bond of peace and of all virtues, without which whosoever liveth is counted dead before thee: Grand this for thine only Son Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen.
