Collect

We beseech thee, O Lord, let the intercession of blessed Sabbas of Judæa thine Abbot, obtain for us thy favour: that those things which we are not able to attain by our own merits, we may gain at his petition. Through thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, liveth and reigneth God, world without end.

℟.Amen.
