Collect for All Saints Day
O Almighty God, who hast knit together thine elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of thy Son Christ our Lord: Grant us grace so to follow thy blessed Saints in all virtuous and godly living, that, through their intercession, we may come to those ineffable joys which thou hast prepared for those who unfeignedly love thee; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

Very nice! Let me know what you think about my latest topic 12. "Your father the devil." I value your opinion
I'm hugely amused to see that where the BCP had "unspeakable", the BDW reads "ineffable" - that word that so troubled poor Bp Trautmann!
Joshua, apparently the Anglican Use hasn't been saddled with a lot of those ignorant John and Mary Catholics the bishop was speaking about. Heck, I even use that Collect when there are children present!!
