The Collect.
O ALMIGHTY God, who in thy providence
didst choose thy servant Willibrord to be an apostle to the Frisian people, to
bring those who were wandering in darkness and error to the true light and

to the light of everlastng life; through the merits of Jesus
Christ thy Son our Lord. Amen.

Tours)
November 11
The Collect.
O GOD, who by thy Holy Spirit didst
enable thy servant Martin to withstand the temptations of the world, the flesh,
and the devil: Grant that we, in the same Spirit, may with pure hearts and
minds follow thee, the only God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Epistle. Isaiah 58:10-12.
IF thou draw out thy soul to the
hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity,
and thy darkness be as the noon day: and the LORD shall guide thee continually,
and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like
a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. And they
that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the
foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the
breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
The Gospel. St. Matthew 25:34-40.
THEN shall the King say unto them on
his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for
you from the foundation of the world: for I was an hungred, and ye gave me
meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and
ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we
thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we
thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we
thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say
unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the
least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
