The collect for today, All Saints' Day, from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer:
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 we may come to those unspeakable joys, which thou hast prepared for them that unfeignedly love thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
For the Epistle: Revelation 7:2-12
The Gospel: St Matthew 5:1-12
