The collect for today, The Feast Day of Saint Mark, Evangelist, from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer:
O Almighty God, who hast instructed thy holy Church with the heavenly doctrines of thy Evangelist Saint Mark; Give us grace, that, being not like children carried away with every blast of vain doctrine, we may be established in the truth of thy holy Gospel; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Epistle: Ephesians 4:7-16
The Gospel: St John 15:1-11
Artwork: Bartolomeo Vivarini, St Mark Enthroned (central panel, Triptych of St Mark), 1474, Tempera on panel, Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, Venice.

It’s nice to see the Book of Common Prayer collects.
Thanks!
