Mercy, Help, and Goodness: Collect for Proper 16 | #anglican #prayer #worship #theology

Father Jeremiah reviews the parts of a collect in order for us to better appreciate the Collect of the Day for Proper 16.

The text of the collect:
Let your continual mercy, O Lord, cleanse and defend your Church; and, because it cannot continue in safety without your help, protect and govern it always by your goodness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
