Collect for the Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity
Almighty and merciful God, of whose only gift it cometh that thy faithful people do unto thee true and laudable service; grant we beseech thee, that we may so run to thy heavenly promises, that we fail not finally to attain, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
– Thomas Cranmer, Collect for the Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity.
His promises are made, may we trust them and pursue them until we pass from this age to the next.
