The collect

The collect for the Sunday called Quinquagesima, or the next Sunday before Lent, from the Book of Common Prayer (1662).

O LORD, who hast taught us that all our doings without charity are nothing worth; Send thy Holy Ghost and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of charity, the very bond of peace and of all virtues, without which whosoever liveth is counted dead before thee; Grant this for thine only Son Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.
