Collect for the Day

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, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

-Third Sunday in Lent, from The Book of Divine Worship

I adore the Collects. Powerful, yet economical interjectory prayers.

Wonderful image of the Crucifix to marry with the prayer...

Nice Father!

Nice blog. I posted on your parish on my blog. My wife found you while surfing for writings on Saint Pius X.
