Proper 22
Keep, O Lord, your household the Church in continual godliness, that through your protection it may be free from all adversities, and devoutly serve you in good works, to the glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

A Latin oration from the early medieval Gregorian liturgical tradition, this collect has been prayed in English since Cranmer's first prayer book of 1549. Its compact petition asks protection from adversity and devotion in good works, and it has anchored the Twenty-Second Sunday after Trinity in every traditional Anglican prayer book.
