The collect for today, the 1st Sunday after Trinity, from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer:
O God, the strength of all them that put their trust in thee, mercifully accept our prayers; and because through the weakness of our mortal nature we can do no good thing without thee, grant us the help of thy grace, that in keeping of thy commandments we may please thee, both in will and deed; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Epistle: 1 St John 4:7-21
The Gospel: St Luke 16:19-31
