Collect
O God, who dost purify thy Church by the yearly observance of the Lenten fast: grant unto this thy family, that what they endeavour to obtain of thee by abstinence, they may shew forth in good works. 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.
