The Collect of the Day:
Lord, we beseech thee to keep thy household the Church in continual godliness; that through thy protection it may be free from all adversities, and devoutly given to serve thee in good works, to the glory of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Post Communion:
Gracious Lord, who in this holy sacrament dost give substance to our hope: bring us at the last to that fullness of life for which we long; through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.
The Collect for the Lesser Festival of St Hilda, Abbess of Whitby:
O eternal God, who madest the abbess Hilda to shine as a jewel in our land and through her holiness and leadership didst bless thy Church with newness of life and unity: so assist us by thy grace that we, like her, may yearn for the gospel of Christ and bring reconciliation to those who are divided; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Collect for the Commemoration of Mechtild, Béguine of Magdeburg:
Draw the souls of thy people into thy love, O God; that, like thy servant Mechthild, we may yearn to be fully thine, for thou dost know us better than we can know ourselves; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God now and for ever. Amen.
