Collect
O God, who through the preaching and wondrous deeds of blessed Augustine, thy Confessor and Bishop, didst vouchsafe to illuminate the English people with the light of true faith: grant, at his intervention, that the hearts of the erring may return to the unity of thy truth, and that we may be of one mind to do thy holy will. 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.
